Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII Review
Blazing Angels has a decent campaign and a fair amount of online options, but its standard gameplay and a lack of online competition prevent it from being very exciting.

Ten Hammers maintains a good presentation and adds some minor control tweaks, but overall you're left with a strategy experience that feels very familiar if you played the first game.

Mutant Nightmare is a good beat-'em-up at heart, but it's totally bogged down by platforming elements, puzzles, and touch screen features that don't work, not to mention stuffy controls.
Frank Provo
Wild Arms 4 Review
Wild Arms 4 is largely a standard by-the-book role-playing game, but the unique battle system and other touches still make it a worthy journey.

Go! Sudoku Review
Go! Sudoku is a competent package, but due to the pervasive nature of Sudoku these days, you probably don't need to spend any money to get puzzles like this.
Jeff Gerstmann
Rainbow Striker Review
Rainbow Striker is a cool little soccer game with nice controls, but it's currently only available on Japanese handsets.
Jeff Gerstmann
Guilty Gear Dust Strikers Review
Dust Strikers defies convention for the worse, resulting in an awkward and frustrating fighting game.
Greg Mueller
Metal Saga Review
Metal Saga has the makings of a good role-playing game, but there's nothing to tie it all together.
Greg Mueller
Jewel Quest Review
Jewel Quest sticks a little too close to the Bejeweled formula for its own good, but it does require you to master a different set of strategies.
Jeff Gerstmann
WinBack 2: Project Poseidon Review
From its bland, generic premise to its one-note gameplay, WinBack 2 does nothing that another third-person shooter hasn't already done better.

EyeToy: Operation Spy has got some really cool features, but not enough of them to form a truly substantial game.

Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
It isn't quite as impressive looking as its console counterparts, and it's a short ride, but there's still a great time to be had with King Kong on the PC.

Gretzky NHL '06 Review
This is a fairly lackluster game of hockey that doesn't really need to be in your PSP collection.

While NBA Live 06 does its best to put a new face on its game, the series as a whole still feels stuck in neutral--waiting to get to the next level.
Bob Colayco

Corner Shop is silly and fun in the beginning, but the gameplay quickly wears thin.
Greg Mueller
EA Sports Arena Football Review
EA Sports' take on arena football is mostly a mechanically sound game of football, but it doesn't quite nail the thrill of the real sport.
Alex Navarro
Curious George Review
The GBA version of Curious George's latest adventure is a more challenging affair than its console counterparts--unfortunately, it isn't a longer one.
Alex Navarro
80 Days Review
It may sport a literary pedigree, but 80 Days is little more than a clunky adventure game with a bad sense of humor and lots of bugs.
Ryan Davis
Rugby 06 Review
Rugby 06 is fast-paced and hard-hitting, with enough control tweaks to warrant a look.
Super Monkey Ball Touch & Roll Review
Touch & Roll for the DS offers more or less everything you'd expect from a Monkey Ball game, but it doesn't do a whole lot more than that.
Bob Colayco
Need for Speed Most Wanted Review
This watered-down imitation of the console game has some glaring problems.
Frank Provo
PQ: Practical Intelligence Quotient Review
It's highly dubious as a measurable test of your logical mind, but PQ can still be a fun, challenging puzzle game.
Ryan Davis
The Bible Game Review
Underneath the religious overtones is a mediocre party game that shouldn't get much play, even at a Catholic school retreat.

WWII Tank Commander Review
This budget action game has its moments, but it's also a very shallow experience with very little depth or replayability.
Jason Ocampo
Greg Hastings' Tournament Paintball Max'd Review
Max'd gets the basic mechanics right, but it's marred by game-stopping bugs and a generally sloppy execution.
Greg Mueller
Diner Dash Review
Diner Dash is a fun and addictive game that's both simple and challenging enough to keep you entertained for as much time as you have to spare.
Greg Mueller
Cuban Missile Crisis: The Aftermath Review
Cuban Missile Crisis is a unique strategy game with a very cool premise and setting, though the combat itself can be a difficult mess.
Jason Ocampo
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X Review
Maverick Hunter X is a remake that will appeal to old-timers and newcomers alike.
Alex Navarro
MVP 06 NCAA Baseball Review
Its overly plain presentation will probably turn off the casual set, but MVP 06 NCAA Baseball's top-notch gameplay is exactly what baseball purists are looking for.
Frank Provo
Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles Review
This undemanding fighter may be good enough for anime fans, but the game is too simple for fighting fans and too self-referential for anyone else.
Ryan Davis
Crash Tag Team Racing Review
The racing isn't exactly the star of the show, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a unique and mostly enjoyable experience.
Alex Navarro
Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects Review
Marvel Nemesis has been engineered in such a way that you must slog through the game's weakest parts to gain access to its best features--and you'll have to wrestle with some serious balance and gameplay issues along the way.
Stephen Palley
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
It won't take you long to blow through King Kong, but its sometimes thrilling, often tense, and always entertaining adventure is absolutely worth checking out.

With just a bit more effort, Spartan could have been great. But it's still worth playing if you're especially interested in the subject matter or in hack-and-slash action games in general.
Greg Mueller
Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows Review
Whether you play it alone or with friends, this uninspired update to the '80s swords-and-sorcery arcade dungeon crawl misses the mark with its boring, mindless action and short, forgettable quest.

If you came in looking for a throwback to the arcade days of Dig Dug, you should probably look elsewhere.

Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection Review
Pinball Hall of Fame delivers some accurate re-creations of some of Gottlieb's classic pinball tables, but the graphics get a little muddy in spots.

Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Review
It may have 16 solid arcade hits, but if you care at all about visual accuracy in your arcade compilations, this package most definitely isn't for you.
Jeff Gerstmann
Crash Tag Team Racing Review
The racing isn't the star of the show, and the load times are painful, but Crash Tag Team Racing's supplemental elements pull the whole thing together into a mostly enjoyable experience.
Alex Navarro
Gretzky NHL '06 Review
Hockey fans will be able to play Gretzky '06 without much frustration or duress, but that's really about all you can say for it.
Alex Navarro
Ikari Warriors Review
Ikari Warriors was a great arcade game, and this is a great version of that arcade game.

Battlefield 2: Special Forces Review
With its focus on infantry and urban combat, Special Forces delivers more of the intense and insanely fun Battlefield 2 gameplay; at least, it does if you can get it running.
Jason Ocampo
Pong / Asteroids / Yar's Revenge Review
This compilation merely makes for a marginally enjoyable trip down memory lane, albeit without any notable features or a high-score save.
Frank Provo
NBA Live 06 Review
While NBA Live 06 does its best to put a new face on its game, the series as a whole still feels stuck in neutral--waiting to get to the next level.

Super Sky Diving plays like the worst levels of Pilotwings 64, only without the (formerly) impressive graphics.

Suikoden Tactics Review
Suikoden Tactics offers solid turn-based strategy gameplay with a couple of unique twists that make it fun for newcomers and veterans alike.
Greg Mueller
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 Review
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 is a good addition to the series, but it's not different enough to appeal to anyone other than the biggest of DDR fans.
Carrie Gouskos
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Review
Sluggish controls and lifeless gameplay make Ghost in the Shell worth playing only for loyal fans of the anime, and even then it isn't worth more than a rental.
Greg Mueller
Kameo: Elements of Power Review
Plenty of original, funny, visually stunning, and fun-filled moments await in Kameo: Elements of Power, which is the first Xbox 360 action adventure game, as well as a standard-setter.
Greg Kasavin
Conflict: Global Terror Review
Like the previous games in the series, Global Terror offers some redeeming value as a shooter, but poor execution on certain aspects, such as the AI, keeps the game from distinguishing itself.
Bob Colayco
NCAA Football 1st and 10 Review
NCAA 2006 is enjoyable neither to play, to watch, nor to listen to, leaving you but one recourse--to avoid it.
Avery Score
Conflict: Global Terror Review
Like the previous games in the series, Global Terror offers some redeeming value as a shooter, but poor execution on certain aspects, such as the AI, keeps the game from distinguishing itself.
Bob Colayco
Legend of Kay Review
If you can get past the horrible voice acting and unfortunate frame rate issue, you'll be won over by the solid gameplay and undeniable charm of Legend of Kay.
Greg Mueller
The Matrix: Path of Neo Review
Path of Neo is a chaotic but pretty good brawler worth the time for those who still think fondly of the Matrix series.
Alex Navarro
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves Review
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves is bigger, longer, and Slyer than the previous two in the franchise.
Carrie Gouskos
Tecmo Classic Arcade Review
The games are all emulated quite well, but aside from the couple of big-name titles featured, many of the games included in this suite are simply not worth playing.
Gamespot Staff
The Sims 2 Review
The Sims 2 loses something in translation from PC to consoles. Namely, its addictive, entertaining gameplay.
Andrew Park
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Review
Partners in Time might not have as strong of a script as the previous Mario & Luigi, but it's still another charming, high quality RPG worth any DS owner's while.
Ricardo Torres
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie Review
Kong's DS adventure is unambitious, boring, ugly, and buggy.
Frank Provo
Ridge Racer 6 Review
If you've played any recent Ridge Racer game, you know exactly what to expect in Ridge Racer 6--a slick, fast-moving racing game with interesting handling characteristics.
Jeff Gerstmann
Midway Arcade Treasures 3 Review
So many of the games included here relied so heavily on custom arcade hardware that they lose much of their appeal in the translation.
Ryan Davis
Evil Dead: Regeneration Review
Evil Dead: Regeneration is a lot of fun to play, but it's marred by a host of bugs and an ugly presentation.
Greg Mueller
Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament Review
Although the presentation isn't the best, and the interface is a little cramped, Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament is definitely one of the better poker games available.
Stephen Palley
Driver: Vegas Review
Driver: Vegas is vaguely reminiscent of the old-school Grand Theft Auto look and feel, but it fails miserably in almost every aspect of its execution.
Ryan Davis
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved Review
Geometry Wars is a refreshingly simple, addictive experience that combines appealing graphics and frantic gameplay.
Carrie Gouskos
Top Spin Review
The gameplay still pops, and the career mode still has plenty to offer, but Top Spin just isn't as exciting as it once was.

Need for Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 has most of what's needed to make a good PSP racing game, but it lacks the biggest one of all: excitement.
Alex Navarro
Mega Man Battle Network 5: Double Team Review
Capcom has taken what was already a decent role-playing game on the GBA and made it better on the DS by taking advantage of the system's unique hardware features.
Frank Provo
Shrek SuperSlam Review
Shrek SuperSlam is an easy game to pick up and play, but unless you're a big fan of the license there isn't much to keep you playing.

Voyage: A Journey Beyond Reality Review
Voyage reduces Jules Verne's tale of a visit to the moon in 1865 to a series of clumsily arranged logic puzzles geared to try the patience of adventure-game veterans.
Brett Todd
MotoGP 3: Ultimate Racing Technology Review
Unfortunately, the PC version of the game doesn't have the same online support and tight control that made the Xbox version so great, but at $20 it's an acceptable alternative for racing fans.
Greg Mueller
50 Cent: Bulletproof Review
Whether you're an action fan looking for a good shooter or a G-Unit fan in search of new material, Bulletproof disappoints across the board.

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse Review
Even if you're only a passing fan of the comic book series, and even if you've already played the first game to death, you'll have a lot of fun with X-Men Legends II.
Greg Mueller
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix Review
With a short story mode that serves as a fun, linear introduction to sequential stomping, Mario Mix is suitable for a child, or for an uncoordinated friend.
Avery Score
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
This console and PC trip through the Wardrobe is a mostly run-of-the-mill action adventure that might hold some measure of appeal to fans of the film, but not so much anyone else.
Greg Mueller
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
The storybook charm of Narnia quickly fades away, leaving a fairly average game that doesn't do much to complement the movie.

Vietcong 2 Review
Like its predecessor, Vietcong 2 offers up some challenging gameplay, though it's plagued by technical issues and short campaigns.

Robotron: 2084 Review
Like the other classic arcade games on Xbox Live Arcade, Robotron: 2084 remains true to its arcade roots while including great additions like online scoreboards and multiplayer.
Jeff Gerstmann
Urban Reign Review
The cheap difficulty and blandness of the story mode make Urban Reign difficult to recommend to all but the most hardcore beat-'em-up fanatics.
Bob Colayco
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Review
With so many better action adventure games available on the Game Boy Advance, this short, simplistic game is especially difficult to recommend, even for fans of the movie.

Battles of Prince of Persia Review
Underneath its modest looks and intimidating, complex battle system is a turn-based strategy game that is surprisingly fun and satisfying.
Bob Colayco
Trapt Review
If you can overlook its technical deficiencies, you might enjoy Trapt on some level, if only because there's nothing quite like it currently available.

Day of Defeat: Source Review
While a lack of maps cuts into the game's value somewhat, Day of Defeat: Source still offers a satisfying and exciting experience for those who just can't get enough of World War II.

Alien Hominid Review
To call this collection of simple Java minigames a port would be a little flattering. It does a nice job with the material as long as it lasts, though.

Transformers is an especially easy sell to diehard fans of the franchise, but it's equally recommendable to fans of action games in general, too.
Brad Shoemaker
Echelon: Wind Warriors Review
Echelon: Wind Warriors isn't a bad game, so much as a mediocre and totally unambitious one.
Scott Osborne
CT Special Forces 2 Review
This solid, arcade-inspired shoot-'em-up improves upon its predecessor in every way.
Frank Provo
Galactic Wrestling: Featuring Ultimate Muscle Review
On its own merits, Galactic Wrestling is a solid grappler. But anyone hoping for a step forward from the first Ultimate Muscle game is going to be a bit disappointed.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong Review
Both on its own and as a tribute to Mario's legacy, Mario vs. Donkey Kong does a great job.
Jeff Gerstmann
3D Slam Ping-Pong Review
While 3D Slam Ping-Pong's concept is simple, the game's modes and fast pace make a winning combination.
Gamespot Staff
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Review
It doesn't take advantage of everything the Zodiac has to offer, but it's certainly a solid start for the franchise.
Jeff Gerstmann
Sonic Advance 3 Review
Sonic Advance 3 is a great, fast-paced platform game, and the tag-team play mechanic really enhances the overall experience.
Frank Provo
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy Review
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy is better suited for novice players who mainly want to see how the Crash-Spyro crossover turns out.
Frank Provo
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Review

FirePower for Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 3 Review
FirePower is what Combat Flight Simulator 3 should have been in the first place, and it is a must-have expansion for current or potential owners of that sim.
Tracy Baker
Mission: Impossible: Operation Surma Review
Operation Surma doesn't look good, and the gameplay is often awkward and frustrating.
Brad Shoemaker
Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku Review
The only remarkable thing about Samurai Jack is how utterly unremarkable it is, and that's certainly not a good reason to play this game.
Alex Navarro
A Quiet Weekend in Capri Review
Capri certainly seems to be an enchanting island. It's too bad you don't get an adventure to match it.
Scott Osborne
Battle Engine Aquila Review
Battle Engine Aquila is an inadequate addition to the mission-based sci-fi sim genre.
Jeff Gerstmann
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing Review
Everything or Nothing is a brief yet satisfying action game that faithfully captures the look and feel of a typical James Bond movie.
Frank Provo
Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004 Review
Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2004, is pure, uncompromised card battling, and it's probably one of the best Yu-Gi-Oh! games to come out on any platform.
Ryan Davis
Beyond the Law: The Third Wave Review
There's really no reason anyone should play Beyond the Law: The Third Wave.
Bob Colayco
Corvette Review
When you get right down to it, Corvette is a difficult title to recommend to even the most devout Corvette enthusiasts.
Tyler Winegarner
Future Tactics: The Uprising Review
It's an intriguing experiment that ultimately suffers from shallow, simplistic gameplay and an uninvolving story mode rife with bland characters.
Bethany Massimilla
ESPN Major League Baseball Review
When you get right down to it, the ESPN-flavored look is what really sets ESPN Major League Baseball apart from other baseball games.
Frank Provo
King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood Review
King of Fighters EX2 sets a new standard for one-on-one fighting games on the GBA.
Frank Provo
Hot Wheels World Race Review
World Race sticks pretty close to the basic arcade racing formula the series has used for years, which works both in the game's favor and against it.
Alex Navarro
Red Faction Review
Featuring clunky controls, choppy animation, and a subpar frame rate, this reworking of a great game isn't one that you'd want to have with you on a desert island.
Tim Tracy
Pax Romana Review
There's little reward for all the indirect management you have to deal with, and the terrible interface sabotages the whole affair.
Sam Parker
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX Review
Romance IX is more of what you already love--that is, assuming you loved it to begin with.
Brad Shoemaker
LifeLine Review
LifeLine represents an ambitious undertaking, but the experience is undermined by unreliable technology and some poor game design.
Ryan Davis
Classic NES Series: The Legend of Zelda Review
Though the game is old and has been followed up by plenty of other, deeper games in the series, The Legend of Zelda still holds up quite well.
Jeff Gerstmann
Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu Review
It's ultimately a pretty basic beat-'em-up, but the strong production values and a solid combat system make for a gratifying experience.
Ryan Davis
Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue Review
If what you seek is solely some quality Frogger gameplay, and you're willing to forgive the facile story and run-of-the-mill graphics, Frogger's Adventures is certainly worth a look.
Alex Navarro
Chaos Legion Review
Chaos Legion is essentially Devil May Cry with stripped-down combat mechanics, but to suggest that this game is comparable to Devil May Cry would be giving it too much credit.
Giancarlo Varanini
Frogger's Adventures: The Rescue Review
If what you seek is solely some quality Frogger gameplay, and you're willing to forgive the facile story and run-of-the-mill graphics, Frogger's Adventures is certainly worth a look.
Alex Navarro
Age of Mythology: The Titans Review
The Titans is recommendable to any fan of Age of Mythology, particularly those who liked the idea of the game but maybe had trouble getting over the learning curve.
Greg Kasavin
Jet Grind Radio Review
If you’re looking for a legal way to deface property with graffiti, and not necessarily the most complex skating game around, then Jet Grind Radio is right up your alley.
Frank Provo
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds Review
Chaos Bleeds is an excellent, well-put-together action adventure game that most fans of the genre should be able to enjoy and any Buffy fan will love.
Alex Navarro
Rugby 2004 Review
Rugby 2004 is by no means authoritative, and it certainly won't convince newbies that the sport makes a worthy computer game.
Gord Goble
Warlords IV: Heroes of Etheria Review
Warlords IV is a highly streamlined sequel that shifts the series' focus away from management and diplomacy to surprisingly fast-paced combat.
Andrew Park
Stuntman Review
Stuntman requires effort to finish, but it does a nice job of putting you behind the wheel in a Hollywood movie.
Frank Provo
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure Review
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is "Tony Hawk Light"--a good game for young players or Disney fans who also enjoy skateboarding games.
Frank Provo
NHL Hitz Pro Review
Above all else, NHL Hitz Pro is just a lot of fun.
Alex Navarro
Shining Soul Review
Shining Soul is a monotonous hack-and-slash action RPG that contributes little to either the Shining series or to dungeon crawlers in general.
Bethany Massimilla
Combat Mission: Afrika Korps Review
Afrika Korps is the third installment of the acclaimed Combat Mission series, and like its predecessors, it represents the absolute state-of-the-art in tactical wargames.
Desslock
Out of the Park Baseball 6 Review
Out of the Park Baseball 6 may look a lot like its predecessors, but many new features give the game an unmatched feeling of authenticity.
Brett Todd

Greg Kasavin
Star Trek: Shattered Universe Review
Perhaps if it existed in an alternate universe, Star Trek: Shattered Universe might be a game worth playing. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Alex Navarro
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Review
It's a stunning shooter that's got a bit too much plot and is over too soon, though it's still incredibly intense and, by all means, worth experiencing.
Greg Kasavin
The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal Review
When combined with the original game, Morrowind Tribunal's complementary features make an excellent role-playing game even better.
Desslock
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
The game's shallow goal design keeps it from achieving the same level of addictiveness as games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Aggressive Inline.
Jeff Gerstmann
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
This game can be recommended only to the most die-hard action sports fans, who won't mind the game's almost clinical approach to its level, goal, and gameplay design.
Jeff Gerstmann
Beach Spikers Review
Beach Spikers is enjoyable enough to warrant the attention of any player looking for some fun, fast-paced arcade-style action.
Ryan Davis
Icewind Dale II Review
Like its predecessor, Icewind Dale II is simply a great role-playing game.
Greg Kasavin
MoonBase Commander Review
It's one of the most accessible and uniquely addictive strategy games this year.

Jeff Gerstmann
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 Review
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for the Game Boy Advance improves upon the previous release in every conceivable way.
Frank Provo
Michael Schumacher Racing World Kart 2002 Review
It's ultimately too simplistic, too short, and far too prone to bumper-car madness and pinball-like ricochets.
Gord Goble
Smuggler's Run: Warzones Review
It's a great introduction for first-time smugglers, but those already familiar with the series won't find much new here.
Ryan Davis
Capcom Vs. SNK Pro: Millennium Fight 2000 Review
It's a surprisingly competent port. Unfortunately, it's a port of a game that most fans consider to be completely obsolete.
Andrew Park
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a terrific action game that has a great mix of multiple gameplay types and a great story.
NFL GameDay 2003 Review
NFL GameDay 2003 doesn't have any significant problems, but there just isn't anything about the game that makes it worth your while.
Giancarlo Varanini
Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest Expansion Review
The Art of Conquest doesn't add enough to make much of a difference.
Tom Chick
The Thing Review
Even if they haven't seen the movie, after playing through this rather lengthy and involving game, survival horror fans will more than likely find that The Thing is one of the best such games for the PS2.
Port Royale Review
Once you get past Port Royale's steep learning curve, you may find yourself enthralled by the game's promise of profiteering and pirating on the high seas.
Sam Parker
Totaled! Review
Totaled! falls short on all fronts, but the exceptionally bad physics and gameplay rob the game of any hope of being something worth your time.
Trevor Rivers
Airborne Assault: Red Devils over Arnhem Review
This is a must-have for anyone who wants to see how the genre can move beyond the conventions of turn-based, chit-based wargaming.
Tom Chick
Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory Review
As far as Napoleonic warfare goes, you'd be hard pressed to find a game as visceral and polished as Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory.
Tom Chick
Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing Review
The game plays so poorly that you'll never feel compelled to actually trudge through and see what it has to offer.
Jeff Gerstmann
Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers Review
Even though it doesn't stack up to other fighting games in terms of depth or polish, Tom and Jerry: War of the Whiskers is worthy of some respect.
Frank Provo
Ultimate Fighting Championship: Throwdown Review
If you've been holding out on buying the game until it came to the GameCube, then this rendition of Throwdown should serve you just fine.
Jeff Gerstmann
NFL Fever 2003 Review
Fans of last year's game won't find much more than a roster update in NFL Fever 2003, while new players will find in it a fairly entertaining, though unrealistic, game of football.
Giancarlo Varanini
Resident Evil Gaiden Review
Resident Evil Gaiden doesn't inspire the same level of interest that the other games in the franchise do.
Frank Provo
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII Review
Romance of the Three Kingdoms VII is a good strategy game, but it's not for everyone.
Brad Shoemaker
Earth & Beyond Review
Earth & Beyond takes the standard high-fantasy formula of online role-playing games and replaces the castles and swords with space stations and beam weapons.
Ron Dulin
Gladiators of Rome Review
If you can get past its problems, you may find Gladiators of Rome to be a quirky strategy game that's interesting to play--at least for a little while.
Andrew Park
U.S. Special Forces: Team Factor Review
Team Factor couldn't have been released at a worse time.
Andrew Park
Project: Nomads Review
Though Project Nomads draws inspiration from some truly unique games, the game itself ends up being a fairly generic shooter.
Ron Dulin
US Open 2002 Review
If you must play tennis on your PC, this is the way you should play.
Gord Goble
Real War: Rogue States Review
Although Rogue States does fix several of Real War's problems, the original game's biggest problems remain.
Tom Chick
Madden NFL 2003 Review
Madden NFL 2003 has plenty to offer, and fans of previous games in the series shouldn't think twice before picking it up.

Brett Todd
NCAA GameBreaker 2003 Review
GameBreaker has more than its fair share of problems.

Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse Review
Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse for the GameCube serves as a bullet-point list of reasons why adventure games are being ignored by the general public.
Ryan Davis
Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Spearhead Review
You may have to decide whether or not a few hours of great single-player gaming and some new but not earth-shattering multiplayer features are worth 30 bucks.
Erik Wolpaw
Madden NFL 2003 Review
There's a lot to like about Madden 2003.
Giancarlo Varanini
F1 2002 Review
F1 2002's improvements on last year's game are marginal at best, and for some, that won't be enough to justify its $50 price tag.
Amer Ajami
The Sum of All Fears Review
While it's clear that The Sum of All Fears was rushed for the movie's release, it's a surprisingly solid game.
Andrew Park
Lethal Skies Elite Pilot: Team SW Review
Sammy's Lethal Skies Elite Pilot: Team SW has survived localization and emerges as an altogether impressive combat flight sim.
Miguel Lopez
Legends of Wrestling Review
Legends of Wrestling sadly doesn't follow through with a game that's as good as its concept.
Gerald Villoria
Tetris Worlds Review
Tetris Worlds offers several solid interpretations of the classic Russian mindbender, though there's little here that hasn't been seen before.
Ryan Davis
Strategic Command: European Theater Review
It's a satisfying re-creation of the struggle that defined the 20th century. But because it lacks a challenging AI, it eventually falls apart as anything other than a multiplayer game.
Tom Chick
PureSim Baseball Review
There's too much to like here to let one problem, however glaring, be a deterrent to enjoying PureSim Baseball.
Brett Todd
Tsunami 2265 Review
Your best bet is to not play Tsunami 2265 at all.

Trey Walker
The Pinball of the Dead Review
You don't have to know or appreciate the source material to really enjoy The Pinball of the Dead.
Greg Kasavin
NCAA Football 2003 Review
To put it simply, EA Sports' NCAA Football 2003 is a college football fan's dream.
Giancarlo Varanini
Downforce Review
It's too bad that Downforce is as simple as it is. It's a very fun game to play, but there really isn't much to it.
Amer Ajami
NCAA Football 2003 Review
EA Sports' NCAA Football 2003 captures and executes all the elements of the college football experience incredibly well.
Giancarlo Varanini
All-Star Baseball 2003 Review
Anyone who wants a dose of hardball on the go or a solid sports game to play with friends would do well to pick this one up.
Gerald Villoria
Lilo and Stitch Review
While Lilo & Stitch was clearly designed as one for the kiddies, they likely will not be able to surmount its technical limitations.
Miguel Lopez
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon Review
The real Bruce Lee was never this sloppy.
Giancarlo Varanini
C-12: Final Resistance Review
It's a strictly average action game that may interest the few players who haven't graduated to a newer system.
Brad Shoemaker
Lego Soccer Mania Review
Lego Soccer Mania is a decent enough soccer game, but it doesn't have the depth to impress those looking for something substantial.
Brad Shoemaker
Aggressive Inline Review
Fans of the Tony Hawk or Dave Mirra games will surely find a lot to like in Aggressive Inline.
Jeff Gerstmann
WrestleMania X8 Review
If you're looking for a fun wrestling game for the GameCube, then you'll definitely want to check out WrestleMania X8.
Giancarlo Varanini
Gore: Ultimate Soldier Review
Gore is a decent shooter, but there isn't anything here that hasn't been done already--and better--in a game you probably already own.
Erik Wolpaw
Dropship: United Peace Force Review
It's an altogether unique flight combat game, and one that can also be quite impressive from a technological standpoint.
Miguel Lopez
Frogger Advance: The Great Quest Review
This 2D side-scrolling platformer is clearly aimed at a young audience.
Tim Tracy
Dinotopia: The Timestone Pirates Review
If you've read and enjoyed the novels that the game is based on, or you're looking for a game for a younger gamer, Dinotopia can be a worthy choice.
Tim Tracy
Splashdown Review
Xbox owners looking for a racing game that plays and looks great would do well to pick up Splashdown.
Giancarlo Varanini
The Watchmaker Review
Fans of traditional adventure games will enjoy the puzzles and will likely be able to bear with the awful voice acting and the underdeveloped story.
Ron Dulin
Sky Gunner Review
It plays really well a lot of the time, and the game itself is action-packed and interesting enough to warrant looking past its problems.
Miguel Lopez
Big Biz Tycoon Review
In trying to walk the line between being a virtual-life game and a business management game, Big Biz Tycoon limits itself to mediocrity.
Trey Walker
Outlaw Golf Review
Outlaw Golf is an odd game because it has a theme that seems to appeal to a certain audience, yet the gameplay isn't really for that crowd.
Giancarlo Varanini
Space Race Ps2 Review
Space Race probably wasn't the best game to port to the PS2 untouched, though Looney Tunes fans ought to give it a look.
Miguel Lopez
Power Play Sports Trivia PsX Review
Power Play Sports Trivia is about as no-frills as a PlayStation game can get these days.
Jeff Gerstmann
Extreme Paintbrawl 4 Review
The best thing you can say about its poor graphics and sound is that they weren't wasted on an otherwise great game.
Andrew Park
Test Drive Xbox Review
It's fun for a while, but it's too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.
Trevor Rivers
Lost Kingdoms Review
It's quite short and doesn't look or sound particularly good. You can tell that most of the effort went into the combat system.
Greg Kasavin
MX Superfly Review
If you missed out on MX 2002, Superfly is a perfect place to start.
Jeff Gerstmann
MX Superfly Review
It's the GameCube's first motocross game, and it's a pretty solid first attempt at the sport on Nintendo's console.
Jeff Gerstmann
F1 2002 Review
This version of F1 is not just the best F1 to date, but it is also the finest computerized representation of Formula 1 racing from any source.
Gord Goble
Stitch: Experiment 626 Review
Stitch: Experiment 626 provides a disjointed gameplay experience, and as such it can't be recommended to anyone who isn't very into the recently released Disney movie.
Miguel Lopez
Baseball Mogul 2003 Review
What was once groundbreaking is now mundane, since this new sports management game remains largely unchanged from what was so refreshing five years ago.
Brett Todd
RedCard 2003 Review
Xbox soccer fans who can't get behind the sim-style offerings from Konami and EA should get a kick out of this one.
Jeff Gerstmann
Virtua Striker 2002 GameCube Review
Virtua Striker 2002 has plenty of gameplay options to keep you busy. Unfortunately, its poor gameplay renders all of these modes nearly worthless.
Shane Satterfield

Wipeout fans should definitely give Fusion at least a rental, though they should prepare themselves for some bittersweet nostalgia.
Ryan Davis
Earthworm Jim 2 Review
This port has a host of new problems that render the game virtually unplayable.
Tim Tracy
Elite Forces: Navy SEALs Review
Previous budget-priced shooters didn't set our expectations for Navy SEALs very high, but the game undercuts even those standards.
Sam Parker
Pryzm Chapter One: The Dark Unicorn Review
Younger players are more likely to enjoy the simplistic and predictable gameplay that Pryzm offers.
Frank Provo
Bomberman Generation Review
Surprisingly addictive and deceptively clever, Bomberman Generation has gotten the series back on track.
Shane Satterfield
Hyperspace Delivery Boy! Review
Hyperspace Delivery Boy won't appeal to everyone, but anyone who has a soft spot for classic games will doubtlessly enjoy it.
Ron Dulin
Pac-Man All-Stars Review
Pac-Man All-Stars simply isn't very fun.
Trey Walker
Jazz and Faust Review
Considering its dull, clumsy gameplay and bad writing, Jazz and Faust is a depressing reminder of why so many gamers have left adventure games behind.
Scott Osborne
Freekstyle Review
While it's not the motocross equivalent of SSX, EA Sports Big's first excursion on dirt is worth a look for those who enjoy a stiff challenge.
Shane Satterfield
WTA Tour Tennis Review
The solid gameplay mechanics and simple controls allow it to appeal to casual players, as well as the devout followers of the women's pro tour.
Gerald Villoria
Fire Blade Review
Fire Blade is a surprisingly good game that will more than satisfy helicopter combat fans.
Le Mans 24 Hours Review
Le Mans 24 Hours is just not good enough compared to today's top-level computer racers.
Gord Goble
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
The dated graphics and the surprisingly inept gameplay make for a bad combination that dooms the game to mediocrity.
Shane Satterfield
Legion: Legend of Excalibur Review
Legion has many sound concepts, but just about everything falls apart in the execution, resulting in a game that runs the gamut from frustrating to just plain terrible.
Jeff Gerstmann
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction Review
Monster Jam: Maximum Destruction can best be described as a poor version of Twisted Metal: Black.
Amer Ajami
Shifters Review
Shifters was clearly not given enough time in development, and it isn't fun to play as a result.
Miguel Lopez
Punch King Review
Punch King tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls short of the mark.
Shane Satterfield
RedCard 2003 Review
It goes into slightly more realistic territory without sacrificing the fun, easy-to-learn gameplay that most of Midway's sports games possess.
Jeff Gerstmann
Breath of Fire II Review
The lengthy quest offers a meaty challenge for RPG fans to get sucked into and a surprise or two to satisfy those who look for them.
Ricardo Torres
Tetris Worlds Review
Tetris Worlds introduces one particular change to the gameplay that renders the classic game all but unplayable.
Ryan Davis
Spider-Man: The Movie Review
Despite the rough edges, however, it is the Spider-Man character itself that makes Spider-Man: The Movie fun to play.
Frank Provo
Blender Bros. Review
If you enjoy good 2D platform games, you can't go wrong with this one.
Tim Tracy
Dance Dance Revolution Konamix Review
Though it's as technically sound as the original DDR, Konamix is much harder to recommend, partly because it's more of the same, and partly because of the subpar music selection.
Ryan Davis
Ice Age Review
Ice Age is a straightforward platform game with a host of problems that ultimately make it a completely joyless experience.
Tim Tracy
BCT Commander Review
BCT Commander in many ways delivers exactly what it claims to--it's a rigorous, realistic simulation of what it's like to command a brigade of combined-arms troops in modern warfare.
Bruce Grey
Combat Medic: Special Ops Review
Combat Medic probably wasn't the best idea for a game.
Andrew Park
Britney's Dance Beat Review
Britney's Dance Beat can actually provide an enjoyable if short-lived experience, and it serves as a good introduction for the uninitiated to the world of rhythm games.
Ryan Davis
Hired Team: Trial Gold Review
Hired Team: Trial Gold has arrived at about the worst possible time.
Scott Osborne
Jedi Starfighter Review
While it's not the prettiest Xbox game out there, let alone the best-looking Star Wars game, it does offer good control and entertaining gameplay.
Trevor Rivers
Top Angler Review
At best, Top Angler is a pretty accurate simulation of what it's like to spend an entire day out on the lake and never have a single bite.
Tim Tracy
Ski Park Manager Review
What is otherwise an enjoyable and challenging game is hidden beneath an unintuitive interface, questionable design decisions, compatibility issues, and an overall lack of polish.
Trey Walker
R/C Helicopter Indoor Flight Simulation Review
It's something to goof around with when you have 10 minutes to kill, but if you want any more than that, you should look elsewhere.
Scott Osborne
Warbirds III Review
There's no denying that Warbirds is at once the most difficult, expensive, and ultimately gratifying online flight sim currently available.
Tom Chick
Aggressive Inline Review
It takes the gameplay and design concepts that have worked well in past alternative sports games and gives them enough of a face-lift to make the game feel new.
Jeff Gerstmann
Atari Revival review
These remakes don't look that great or play that well, but at least you get all three of them for $20.
Andrew Park
MotoGP Review
THQ's MotoGP for the Xbox is the latest game that attempts to re-create the sport of Moto Grand Prix motorcycle racing, and for the most part, it does a very good job of doing so.
Amer Ajami
Headhunter Review
Its graphics fall short of the best the console has to offer, but its blend of action, stealth, and driving manages to keep things interesting throughout.
Shane Satterfield
Smashing Drive Review
Smashing Drive has virtually no lasting value whatsoever and just isn't much fun to play even as long as it lasts.
Gerald Villoria
2002 FIFA World Cup Review
FIFA 2002 is still the better soccer game for the PlayStation--unless you're a World Cup fanatic.
Giancarlo Varanini
All-Star Baseball 2003 Review
All-Star Baseball 2003 is the best baseball simulation available for the Xbox, and it will satisfy hard-core fans of hardball.
Shane Satterfield
WWII: Desert Rats Review
WWII: Desert Rats is a good example of a budget game done right.
Erik Wolpaw
Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza Review
Even with its cheap $30 price tag, only the most die-hard Die Hard fans should pick up this game.
Amer Ajami
Factory Mogul Review
It has some charm, and the budget price is suited to the amount of fun it provides.
Ron Dulin
Spider-Man: The Movie Review
Spider-Man: The Movie executes the core elements of the Spider-Man experience well and, in particular, features some great outdoor levels.
Giancarlo Varanini
K-1 World Grand Prix 2001 Review
IMPORT: Fans of the sport who are savvy in the ways of importing may want to think about importing what is by far the best iteration of the K-1 sport.
Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror Review
Looked at as a free mod, Tactical Ops is an achievement its developers can be proud of, but taken as a retail game, it still needs more work.
Scott Osborne
Season Ticket Baseball 2003 Review
There is no better sports management sim available on this side of the Atlantic.
Brett Todd
TransWorld Surf Review
It's unfortunate that PlayStation 2 owners have been shortchanged on this port of TransWorld Surf.
Ryan Davis
Ultimate Ride Coaster Deluxe Review
Coaster Deluxe is essentially just a slightly better version of the original Ultimate Ride.
Trey Walker
Burnout Review
There's enough meat on Burnout's bones to provide an engaging, albeit unoriginal, take on arcade racing.
Shane Satterfield
Burnout Review
Burnout is a run-of-the-mill arcade driving game that features spectacular crashes.
Shane Satterfield
King's Field: The Ancient City Review
King's Field: The Ancient City will strongly appeal to a small subset of RPG gamers, fans of From Software's similar endeavors in particular.
Justin Speer
Gauntlet Dark Legacy Review
The game's extremely dated appearance and poor performance keep it from competing with other four-player Xbox games.
Gerald Villoria
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers Review
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers is most definitely a kids' game, but there's enough going on in it that even older players could get a kick out of this simple yet attractive game.
Gerald Villoria
Rayman Rush Review
Rayman Rush certainly doesn't maintain the same level of quality as the main games in the Rayman series, but it can prove to be a decent diversion for a short period of time.

High Heat Major League Baseball 2003 Review
The High Heat Major League Baseball series is aging fast, but the 2003 GBA iteration--largely due to its two-player mode--is still a decent baseball game.
Frank Provo

Frank Provo
Baseball Advance Review
Its clever design and gorgeous visuals more than compensate for any deficiency.

If you have halfway decent reflexes and a gamepad, then you need to check out Tony Hawk 3. And if you don't have a gamepad, get one for it.

New Legends Review
The game's combat system is executed so well that it saves the game from being just another cookie-cutter beat-'em-up.
Giancarlo Varanini
Eve of Extinction Review
Yuke's has taken the classic beat-'em-up gameplay and mixed it with the evil corporation motif, creating Eve of Extinction, a game with lofty aspirations but only moderate means.
Ryan Davis
Knockout Kings 2002 Review
Knockout Kings 2002 is the first version of the game for the Xbox, and it's certainly the best of the series to date.
World Tour Soccer 2002 Review
If you demand more from gameplay than what the FIFA series is currently offering, World Tour Soccer 2002 is a wise choice.
Shane Satterfield
Monster Rancher Advance Review
Previous games in the Monster Rancher series may have been grander in size or graphical splendor, but Monster Rancher Advance may be the greatest entry yet for a number of reasons.
Gerald Villoria
NBA 2K2 Review
Virtually every aspect of the real NBA game is accurately represented and well implemented to provide a roundball experience that is second to none.

Aside from the game's exceptional QB challenge mode, there isn't much that really stands out in Quarterback Club 2002.
Dragon Rage Review
Dragon Rage comes down to being a very basic shooter with a number of flaws thrown in at no extra cost.
Trevor Rivers
Black & White: Creature Isle Review
Creature Isle will certainly appeal to anyone who enjoyed Black & White in the first place. Surprisingly, though, it's also suitable for some of those who didn't.
Greg Kasavin
Star Wars Starfighter Review
If you feel like playing through a solid arcade shooter set in the Star Wars universe, then you might want to give Starfighter a try.
Giancarlo Varanini
Prehistorik Man Review
At best, Prehistorik Man is a weekend diversion from the GBA's more substantial fare.
Frank Provo
Circus Maximus Review
Actually competing in a deadly chariot race is an intriguing concept for a game, but Circus Maximus doesn't manage to make the experience all that exciting.
Ryan Davis
NBA 2K2 Review
No matter how you like your hoops games, NBA 2K2 is the best basketball game available for the Xbox.

Shane Satterfield
Tekken Advance Review

ESPN International Winter Sports is a collection of 10 minigames that can be played solo or head-to-head--and little else.
Shane Satterfield

You'll find virtually everything there is to like about action gaming in the stunning sequel to Serious Sam.
Greg Kasavin
Cabela's Off-Road Adventure 2 Review
Off-Road Adventure 2 is unlike virtually any previous driving game in that it does not force you to compete against other cars or a constantly ticking clock.
Gord Goble
Cel Damage Review
Cel Damage is quite an amazing bit of eye candy, but it's a real shame that the game behind the pretty graphics just doesn't hold up.
Gerald Villoria
Starships Unlimited: Divided Galaxies Review
Starships Unlimited is a game that's as remarkable for its humble shareware beginnings as it is for its elegant design.
Sam Parker
La Grande Armee at Austerlitz Review
It's different enough from the traditional turn-based, hexagonal wargame that wargamers should sit up and take notice.
Tom Chick
Mech Platoon Review
Although the Game Boy Advance is nowhere near as powerful as a PC, Mech Platoon compromises nothing compared with stalwart veterans like Starcraft or Command & Conquer.
Frank Provo

Nightcaster is a game that aims for the sky but comes up a little short.
Tim Tracy
GoDai: Elemental Force Review
Despite some solid ideas and some very cool game mechanics, the game is technically flawed to a degree that's almost criminal.
Miguel Lopez
NBA Courtside 2002 Review
Despite the fact that it's a solid first-year effort, Courtside 2002 isn't without its flaws and is generally a step behind more seasoned competing products.
Shahed Ahmed
Rez Review
On paper, UGA's "music shooter" may sound a little dull, but it's one of those games that simply must be seen--and in this case, heard--to be fully understood.
Jeff Gerstmann

Many of the interesting concepts in Tsugunai: Atonement lose their appeal shortly after the umpteenth quest to help some tortured soul in town.

Giancarlo Varanini
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Review
Something bad clearly happened when Obi-Wan was turned into an Xbox game.

Brad Shoemaker
FIFA 2002 Review
As the first and only soccer game available for the GameCube, FIFA 2002 is an excellent start.
Shane Satterfield

It will certainly appeal to an audience eager for a serious challenge and more classic Mega Man action as well as those who might have been disappointed with the previous game.
Giancarlo Varanini

Sunny Garcia Surfing Review
The age of the engine is apparent, and the presentation and gameplay simply aren't up to par with those of more modern surfing games.
Ryan Davis
Capitalism II Review
Once competition picks up against the aggressive AI, Capitalism II shows its colors as a great strategy game. Also, as if to help your own bottom line, the game's a real bargain at $20.

Gerald Villoria
Europa Universalis II Review
The new game has a broader focus, one that will interest returning veterans of the first game, and it greatly improves the tutorial and documentation to ease the significant learning curve for new players.
Sam Parker
Schizm Review
Schizm has a thin story, but the puzzles were obviously created by and for people who love a daunting task.
Ron Dulin
ESPN NFL Primetime 2002 Review
The game's ESPN license can't hide the fact that NFL Primetime has slippery controls and flawed AI, which ultimately translates to a mediocre NFL simulation.
Shahed Ahmed

If you already own an Xbox, don't bother picking up the game, and if you're considering buying an Xbox, don't judge the console by this game.

Monster Truck Rumble Review
Despite that it doesn't play terribly, Monster Truck Rumble really has nothing to offer.
Giancarlo Varanini
S.W.I.N.E. Review
While the gameplay isn't quite as unusual as the premise, S.W.I.N.E. is a solid real-time strategy game with plenty of humor, all wrapped up in a beautiful shell.
Craig Beers
Frank Herbert's Dune Review
It's a poorly designed 3D action-adventure game that actually has precious little to do with the source material and equally little to recommend it.
Scott Osborne
Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open Review
Despite its rather humdrum graphics and sound, it manages to provide a thrilling experience for the first several hours.
Shane Satterfield
AquaNox Review
While the graphics are undeniably great, the battles are dull, and the awkward controls and extremely brief missions prevent AquaNox from being engrossing as an action game.
Desslock
EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin Review
The Shadows of Luclin is easily the biggest, most significant EverQuest expansion yet, and considering the massive size of the other expansions, that's no small feat.
Greg Kasavin
Jade Cocoon 2 Review
Jade Cocoon 2 is much better than its predecessor, retaining and improving on its predecessor's strengths, but it lacks that special something that makes it more than the sum of its parts.
Ricardo Torres
Giants: Citizen Kabuto Review
Give Giants a try, and in short order, you'll find yourself playing one of the PS2's most likable, most offbeat shooters.
Greg Kasavin
American Bass Challenge Review
Fans of arcade-style fishing may turn their noses up at the complexity of the game, but in the end, this is a solid game that will satiate avid anglers.
Tim Tracy
Great Outdoor Games Bass 2002 Review
Great Outdoor Games Bass 2002 from Konami is a fine example of how a game can be stripped down to its barest essentials and still be a great game.
Tim Tracy
Disney's Tarzan Untamed Review
This is a great game for children and perhaps for adults looking for a quick rental, but it's certainly not something you'd induct into your permanent collection.

Max Payne Review
It's an outstanding and original action game that's not just different from all other shooters to date, but also in many ways superior.
Greg Kasavin
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review
While visually and aurally sound, and at times impressive, Harry Potter's GBA debut is neither innovative nor particularly compelling from a gameplay perspective.

For all its promise, Supercar Street Challenge will only leave you racing to find a better game.
Scott Osborne
Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder Review
While not without its flaws, the game capably brings the gameplay mechanics and general style of the Tony Hawk games to the mountain.
Ryan Davis
Silent Hunter II Review
Each mission is tightly scripted and offers almost zero chance for freedom or exploration, which means there's very little replay value.
Tom Chick
Top Gun: Combat Zones Review
Top Gun: Combat Zones lacks the value and longevity of better games in its field.
Doug Radcliffe
NBA 2K2 Review
The improvements in the game, although subtle on the surface, are substantial for serious fans of the NBA.

Luigi's Mansion Review
Luigi's Mansion features some refreshing ideas but fails to match the classic status of Mario's adventures.
Shane Satterfield

Spyro: Season of Ice Review
Once you're used to floating diagonally and hopping ledges toward loftier areas, the game becomes quite fun.
Frank Provo
NHL Hitz 2002 Review
Anyone who's played Midway's Wayne Gretzky games will be right at home playing NHL Hitz 2002 but will find it to be little more than a nostalgic walk down memory lane.

Mystery of the Druids Review
The setup promises both sleuthing and suspense, but Mystery of the Druids delivers neither.
Ron Dulin
Ballistics Review

If you're a PS2 owner wondering if you should get the Xbox version of Madden 2002 because it might look better, the answer is no.
Fuzion Frenzy Review
There are other, more-engaging multiplayer experiences to be had with the Xbox, but at this point, none have the pick-up-and-play appeal of Fuzion Frenzy.
Ryan Davis
James Bond in Agent Under Fire Review
Agent Under Fire isn't a horrible game, but its lackluster level design, poor enemy AI, and easy level of difficulty pile up to detract from what it does offer greatly.
Joe Fielder
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
NASCAR Heat 2002 chooses to err on the side of simulation racing and, for the most part, comes off as a highly realistic replica of stock-car racing.
Shahed Ahmed
Patrician II Review
Patrician II successfully blends trading, city-building, and simple ship combat in a way that's constantly engaging.
Sam Parker
Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory Review
Smuggler's Run 2: Hostile Territory will instantly endear itself to fans of the original, as it is essentially a better-looking and more fun version of the original.
Ryan Davis
Zoboomafoo: Leapin' Lemurs Review
If Zoboomafoo is successful at doing one thing, it's working as an advertisement for the children's TV show on PBS.
Giancarlo Varanini

The Weakest Link Review
Only those who like collecting anything to do with a show that probably won't last more than a season or two in the States should seriously consider The Weakest Link.
Stephen Poole

Anyone who is looking for a nice, solid freestyle sports game for the Xbox and who isn't looking for a graphical showpiece for his or her new system won't be disappointed.

The Sims: Hot Date Review
Hot Date's real additions are its expanded social options and its new downtown area, both of which make an already-interesting game even more fun to play.
Andrew Park
NBA Live 2002 Review
NBA Live 2002 seems to be falling behind competing hoops products on the market and didn't improve much in moving to the Xbox.
Shahed Ahmed
Silent Scope 2: Dark Silhouette Review

Trey Walker
BASS Strike Review
The frustrating controls ruin what would have been a perfectly good fishing game.

Greg Kasavin
NFL Blitz 2002 Review
NFL Blitz 2002 for the Game Boy Advance isn't just a mere distortion of football, but a botched imitation of NFL Blitz itself.
Frank Provo
Rails Across America Review
It's a game whose real strengths are always in competition with its flaws. Happily for fans of hard-core strategy games, the strengths usually win out.
Scott Osborne
One Piece Mansion Review
Offering an unfamiliar style of addictive puzzle gameplay and boasting the personality of a vast assortment of wacky characters, One Piece Mansion is a fine buy for fans of the genre.
Justin Speer
Real War Review
Real War is a throwback to the days of those horrible real-time strategy clones that followed the success of Westwood's Command & Conquer series.
Tom Chick
Time Crisis II Review
Time Crisis II is a whole lot more fun than a console port of a three-year-old arcade game should be.
Ryan Davis
Kessen II Review
With its intuitive interface, pared-down strategy elements, and complex cinematics and storyline, Kessen II is designed to appeal to a more mainstream audience than any of Koei's previous strategy games.

Heavy Metal is simply an uninteresting licensed 3D arena shooter that feels extremely rushed and won't impress anyone.
NHL Hitz 2002 Review
Hockey fans might want to pick up NHL Hitz 2002 if they're looking for something different, but for everyone else, a weekend rental should suffice.

Gallop Racer 2001 Review
If you're looking for a change of pace in your racing game, there is certainly nothing else on the market quite like it.

Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open Review
Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open is definitely worth a look for fans of racing games and fans of big-block trucks.

In spite of the game's original qualities, there are just too many other, better choices available to make it worthwhile for most real-time strategy game players.
Brett Todd
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 represents nothing less than the best skateboarding game the system has to offer.
Ryan Davis
Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern Review
It takes the primary elements of the Pern novels and uses them to fashion a run-of-the-mill adventure game that offers very little actual adventure and too many frustrating mechanical issues.
Ron Dulin
Shogun: Total War Warlord Edition Review
For the game's existing fans, it's a must-have. And for the uninitiated, it's an ideal opportunity to see what all the fuss was about.
Tom Chick

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 Review
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 does not suffer from any single huge, crippling flaw; rather, a handful of smaller problems plague the game and keep it from achieving BMX greatness.

It's hard to recommend Death Crimson OX to anyone but the truly desperate light-gun fanatic.
Brad Shoemaker
ESPN Final Round Golf 2002 Review
It may prove to be too easy for the more experienced player, but with 90 holes of golf and a good multiplayer game, Final Round makes for a more-than-acceptable portable golf game.
Ryan Davis
RoboForge Review
Thinking up and tweaking your robots in RoboForge offers a lot of challenge, replay value, and entertainment.

Madden NFL 2002 Review
The game manages to one-up last year's Madden in most categories.

Ricardo Torres
Razor Freestyle Scooter Review
Seasoned fans of the freestyle sports genre will whip through Razor Freestyle Scooter in an afternoon, no questions asked.
Jeff Gerstmann
Rune: Viking Warlord Review
Rune: Viking Warlord proves that a solid concept is nothing without strong execution and that exorbitant amounts of carnage will never mask a game's faults.
Shane Satterfield
Tweety & The Magic Gems Review
While the GBA needs a party game, Tweety & The Magic Gems is far too laborious and bland to captivate even the most carefree of audiences.
Frank Provo
Eurofighter Typhoon Review
Having to jump around from plane to plane gives Eurofighter Typhoon a scattered feel in which you're fighting timing rather than flying missions.
Tom Chick
NFL GameDay 2002 Review
GameDay 2002 does a decent job of delivering a fun and somewhat realistic game of football to the PlayStation.
Madden NFL 2002 Review
While Madden 2002 isn't reinventing football on the PlayStation, it is really the best you're going to get on the system.
WWF Betrayal Review
Double Dragon it's not, but WWF Betrayal does give you the chance to pummel hoodlums and machine-gun-toting businessmen with reckless abandon.
Frank Provo
Sega Bass Fishing 2 Review
Sega Bass Fishing 2 is a model example of what sequels should be.
Tim Tracy
Conquest: Frontier Wars Review
Conquest succeeds in large part due to an epic atmosphere and a number of unique design elements that convey the complexity of waging war, from establishing supply lines to commissioning talented commanders.

There's really nothing to Lightweight Ninja aside from running, jumping, picking up items, and occasionally shooting an enemy.
Andrew Park
Baseball Mogul 2002 Review
Baseball Mogul 2002's greatest success, as well as most disappointing failure, is that the captivating gameplay remains virtually identical to the first game in the series.
Brett Todd
Tang Tang Review
Although it is indeed short, easy, and unimpressive, Tang Tang may actually find a welcome audience with younger game players, as well as those who just love block-creation puzzle games.
Frank Provo
Shattered Galaxy Review
The battles in Shattered Galaxy can be spectacular, tense, and exciting, with one caveat: you're always limited to one small corner of the action.
Tom Chick
Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero Review
Calling Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero a lousy platform-action game would be an insult to lousy platform-action games everywhere.
Andrew Park
Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse Review
Why anyone would make an action RPG without the all-important RPG element is beyond comprehension.
Frank Provo
Gadget Racers Review
Gadget Racers is a fun, engaging little game, and it will have you running quick cash laps for longer than you'd like to admit--for the purpose of netting the next neat little power-up.
Miguel Lopez
Anarchy Online Review
If it can conquer its technical problems, Anarchy Online will be the very best online role-playing game around.
Andrew Park
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Third Edition Review
If you're into trivia games like You Don't Know Jack, you may get some mileage out of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but its uninteresting gameplay and methodical pacing make it practically a chore to play.

Jeff Gerstmann
Front Office Football: The College Years Review

Brett Todd
Legends of Might and Magic Review
Ultimately, it's more disappointing than exciting, and not just because it's transparently modeled after a much better game.
Scott Osborne
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal Review
It's filled with high adventure, epic battles, and plenty of surprises, and it's got a good cast, a good story, and more of all the elements that have made the series successful.
Greg Kasavin
NCAA Football 2002 Review
NCAA Football 2002 takes another step in creating its own identity, separate from the Madden series, and is able to stand on its own merits.
Shahed Ahmed

Frank Provo
Rugby 2002 Review
Anyone with an interest in rugby will definitely get something out of this game.
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Review
It's a clumsy port, but what's even more disappointing is that it's a clumsy port of only a middling console game.
Stephen Poole
Empire of the Ants Review
Empire of the Ants just doesn't do justice to the really unusual and interesting premise.
Scott Osborne
18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker Review
18 Wheeler would be easier to recommend as a budget title; with a price comparable to more lasting games, however, it's probably best left as a rental.
Brad Shoemaker
NASCAR Heat 2002 Review
While it will appeal to fans of NASCAR racing, it will probably appeal more to the less hard-core racing fan and to those who can ignore the game's slim damage model.
Trevor Rivers
Digimon Digital Card Battle Review
While Digimon Card Battle accurately duplicates the flow and gameplay of the tabletop game, its simplicity will turn off any but the youngest of players.
Gerald Villoria
Hot Potato! Review
Although Hot Potato! is probably very different from the shooters or puzzle games that you're used to playing, it's also quite entertaining.
Frank Provo
Top Gear GT Championship Review

Frank Provo
Atari Anniversary Edition Review
The PC version of this package does a far better job of emulating these classic Atari hits.

Despite its impressive graphics and excellent voice acting, the simplistic and monotonous nature of Stupid Invaders' gameplay manages to drag down an otherwise entertaining experience.
Shane Satterfield
Crazy Taxi 2 Review

Shane Satterfield
Commander Keen Review
Commander Keen was always better suited to a platform where instant save games could make up for its frantic gameplay and cranked difficulty.
Frank Provo
Crazy Taxi Review
Crazy Taxi is still a fun, exciting game, but fans of Crazy Taxi who already own the Dreamcast release don't really need to bother with the PlayStation 2 version.
Jeff Gerstmann
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising Review
In spite of its lack of multiplayer support, even the most jaded real-time strategy player will find something fresh and exciting in Hostile Waters.
Brett Todd
Worms World Party Review
Like the other Worms games, World Party appears simplistic at first, but it actually packs a level of deep strategic value that other games in the genre could only hope to achieve.
Gerald Villoria

It's not suitable for everyone, and it will require considerable time and effort on your part in order to produce satisfying results.
Greg Kasavin

Hard-core Time Crisis fans and those just looking for a good gun game would do well to pick up this game, but the antiquated presentation, lack of options, and brutal continue system will make this at best a rental for most.
Ryan Davis
Fly! II Review
It's very disappointing that a simulation with so much potential is marred by so many problems, because Fly II is fundamentally a good game.

If you're the type of person who likes to uncover every last little secret in a game, Pinobee might be worth checking out.
Jeff Gerstmann
Motor Mayhem: Vehicular Combat League Review
Motor Mayhem is different enough that it will appeal to those gamers who have an interest in the car-combat genre or aren't excited about the new turn for the morbid that Twisted Metal has taken.
Trevor Rivers
Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX Review
Unless you've played Road Champs BXS Stunt Biking to death, the sheer number of gameplay and style improvements present in Mat Hoffman ultimately make it the more satisfying of the two games.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero Review
Although Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Zero is flawed visually, the gameplay system is both unique and entertaining.
Shahed Ahmed
Namco Museum Review
The Game Boy Advance version of Namco Museum isn't the best translation that these arcade classics have ever seen, but the ability to take them with you wherever you go makes this version of Namco Museum the most compelling version to date.
Jeff Gerstmann
World War II Online: Blitzkrieg Review
World War II Online is a dangerous mess of a game that can't be recommended to any but the most hard-core game players in its current state.
Bruce Grey
Cool Boarders 2001 Review
For those who think SSX is too simplified and that ESPN X-Games Snowboarding is too difficult, Cool Boarders 2001 is a perfect compromise.

The game features plenty of great-looking scenery, memorable characters, and funny dialogue.
Greg Kasavin
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
The development team at Vicarious Visions has captured the essence of THPS2 and, outside of a few necessary changes, has delivered most of what made the console versions of Tony Hawk 2 such classics.
Jeff Gerstmann
Bowling Review
It comes as no surprise that the $10 you would spend on purchasing this game would be better spent on several games at a real bowling alley.
Tim Tracy
Tribes 2 Review
Tribes 2 isn't easy to master, and it won't play well on every gaming PC, but when you're up and running it's a tremendous amount of fun.
Sam Parker
High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 Review
As outstanding as the core elements of High Heat 2002 undoubtedly are, it's hard to emerge from an extended session of gameplay without some serious misgivings.
Brett Todd
Kuru Kuru Kururin Import Review
IMPORT: Its premise is rather simple. You control a stick that spins at a constant speed, and you must maneuver this spinning stick through tightly designed mazes without touching the walls of the maze.
Jeff Gerstmann
Rumble Racing Review
Rumble Racing looks good, moves fast, and is a blast to play, either by yourself or with a friend.
Jeff Gerstmann
Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul Review
Hours will fly past as you progress from one exploit to another, hooked on the game's hack-and-slash formula.
Brett Todd
Illbleed Review
The game puts even less of an emphasis on combat than Resident Evil-style games; instead it focuses more on the process of identifying, and subsequently neutralizing, traps.
Miguel Lopez
Mickey's Speedway USA Review
Varied gameplay, diverse options, gorgeous visuals, and ample two-player support make Mickey's Speedway USA a class-A title.
Frank Provo
Legend of the River King 2 Review
Although the game itself isn't overwhelmingly deep in terms of either fishing strategy or RPG intricacy, the incorporation of a number of Pokémon-inspired gameplay elements lends this easygoing adventure a charm that can't be overlooked.
Frank Provo
Evil Dead: Hail to the King Review
Evil Dead: Hail to the King unfortunately offers little of the appeal of its source material, as everything about the game is derivative, boring, or just plain bad.
Brett Todd
Rogue Spear Review
Rogue Spear isn't a bad game, and it makes do with what it has going for it.
Trevor Rivers
The Simpsons Wrestling Review
In the end, wit and charm are the two most redeeming features of The Simpsons Wrestling, as it simply can't survive on its gameplay alone.

Fans of the long-running comic series and players in search of the ever-elusive novel game would do themselves a favor by checking out Spider-Man.
Miguel Lopez
Fate of the Dragon Review

The squad premise of the game serves only to throw a few meaningless options into an otherwise thin game.
Trevor Rivers
High Heat Major League Baseball 2002 Review

Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Review
If it weren't for all of the pointless wandering and the lack of plot development, Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine would have been a great game.
Frank Provo
MTV Sports: T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX Review
Landing vert tricks and pulling off long grinds can be a chore, because the game has a seemingly random system of determining whether or not your bike is straight enough to land. A coin toss would be more predictable.
Ryan Davis
Smurf Racer Review
Younger gamers will enjoy racing against the computer or with a friend, while the more experienced will breeze through the game in no time flat.
Tim Tracy
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns Review
Kohan's few shortcomings don't diminish the fact that it brings together a variety of proven concepts to offer a real-time strategy experience unlike any other.

Andrew Vestal
ESPN NBA 2Night Review
Although NBA 2Night shows potential as the first game in Konami's new basketball series, it doesn't excel in any specific category and thus finds itself a step behind EA's NBA Live series.

Buried under the layers of poor visuals and rough control, there is indeed an engaging, playable game.
Ryan Davis

Jeff Gerstmann
X-COM: Enforcer Review
On its own terms, Enforcer is a fast-paced and rather fun shooter, though it'll prove too easy for veteran players.
Greg Kasavin
Batman: Chaos in Gotham Review
Batman: Chaos in Gotham does well by following a storyline that would have appeared in the comic book or animated series and dressed it up with an assortment of gaming styles and a deep level of control.
Trevor Rivers
Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths & Legends Review
As an action game, Roswell Conspiracies is rather basic, but the plot is certainly fanciful enough to appeal to less discerning consumers.

Tim Tracy
KISS Pinball Review
KISS fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of KISS, and pinball fans will be disappointed by the distinct lack of pinball.
Jeff Gerstmann

Scott Osborne
Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage Review
The developers fared well in bringing some role-playing game conventions into the third dimension, but they weren't as successful with others.
Joe Fielder
Dr. Mario 64 Review

There is no evidence to suggest that children would actually enjoy playing a game this unremarkable--let alone adults.
Frank Provo
NBA Hoopz Review
NBA Showtime fans may enjoy Hoopz, but the game would have benefited from an honest-to-goodness arcade mode and a speed setting, if not faster overall gameplay.
Jeff Gerstmann
NBA Live 2001 Review
The new edition of NBA Live doesn't really offer much in the way of new features--but it's still one of the best basketball games available.
Giancarlo Varanini
Surf Rocket Racers Review
Surf Rocket Racers is what happens when a game developer takes a stock game formula and simply goes nowhere with it.
Ryan Davis
Europa Universalis Review
Once you get past the initial shock of how big and occasionally unwieldy the game is, you'll find that the detailed mechanics work to produce an unparalleled level of depth.
Sam Parker
Star Trek Away Team Review
It's a linear, repetitive, tedious game that ignores almost every lesson it should have learned from previous, more successful tactical combat games.
Bruce Grey
Dragon's Lair Review
Eighteen years later, it's still a refreshingly innovative game.
Frank Provo
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt Review
Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt is a fun and exciting sportslike game that lives up the TV show's madcap, albeit sometimes violent, reputation.
Frank Provo
NBA Hoopz Review
If it weren't for its abhorrent background music, tinny sound effects, and lack of a two-player feature, NBA Hoopz would be a glowing addition to the Game Boy Color's library.
Frank Provo

After you play it for a while, you'll realize that all of its visual details don't amount to very much.
Stephen Poole
Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 Review
Those who've found previous versions of the series to be underwhelming won't have their opinions changed by this latest installment.

Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers Review
The DC version of this graphically intensive platform adventure is sometimes fun but gets very old very quickly.
Gerald Villoria
Sgt. Rock: On the Frontline Review
Classic gaming fanatics will eat it up, but fussier gamers would be more satisfied elsewhere.

Dark Conspiracy fundamentally remains the same great strategy game as its predecessor.
Greg Kasavin
Mega Man X5 Review
Fans of the classic 2D games will no doubt find much to love in X5, while those who can't get into the aging conventions and mechanics probably won't care a great deal for it.

NASCAR Heat Review
NASCAR Heat isn't quite the all-encompassing racing simulation that Electronic Arts' NASCAR 2001 is, but features like the beat the heat mode make the game worthwhile for any NASCAR fan.

Tim Tracy
NBA ShootOut 2001 Review
The gameplay system in NBA ShootOut 2001 generally coaxes the player into fast-break basketball.

Toy Story Racer Review
The 3D visuals and cartoon-style charm contained within Toy Story Racer do make it an excellent choice for children, Disney fans, or Game Boy fanatics who enjoy visual gimmicks.
Frank Provo
Unreal Tournament Review
Quake III Arena on the Dreamcast may offer more visceral gameplay, but Unreal Tournament is the most complete package yet.
Joe Fielder
Knockout Kings 2001 Review
Knockout Kings 2001 is more of a hitting simulation than a boxing simulation, which is a complete turnoff for die-hard boxing fans who want realism.
RC Revenge Pro Review
Somehow, somewhere, the PlayStation 2 port of RC Revenge Pro took a wrong turn.
Frank Provo

Despite the very solid design and some outstanding features and gameplay elements, you might be very frustrated with Age of Sail II because of all its technical problems.
Michael E.
Animorphs: Shattered Reality Review
If there's a silver lining to Animorphs: Shattered Reality, it's that it would make an excellent game for children who aren't yet old enough to tackle the meatier fare of "real" video games.
Frank Provo
The Dukes of Hazzard II: Daisy Dukes It Out Review
Rabid Dukes of Hazzard fans may enjoy the game, but game players with more discerning tastes probably won't.

Frank Provo
Blues Brothers 2000 Review
The 3D-action category is a competitive one on the Nintendo 64, and Blues Brothers lacks any special features that would make it noteworthy.

Unless you're desperate for anything snowmobile-ish, keep a safe distance away from this dud.
Nelson Taruc
The Mummy Review
Fans of spatially oriented puzzle games won't christen it the second coming of Solomon's Key, but there's enough challenge and intelligence within each of The Mummy's 46 stages to keep most people occupied for a goodly amount of time.
Frank Provo
Real Pool Review
Real Pool offers most of the same elements as Q-Ball Billiards Master, but it goes about it in a bare-bones way.

Bruce Grey
Chicken Run Review
Chicken Run can be fun, if not particularly involving nor challenging, and kids should have a good time with it.
Scott Osborne
NHL FaceOff 2001 Review

Bruce Grey
ESPN MLS GameNight Review
Konami has gone to great lengths to integrate two- and four-player capability into each of the game's non-season modes, which opens up the possibility of introducing your sports-phobic friends to a soccer game they can actually play.
Frank Provo
Aqua Aqua Review
Aqua Aqua for the PlayStation 2, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Wetrix for the Nintendo 64, is basically the same game released three years later, but it still represents a refreshing change for the puzzle genre.

Flaws in the computer's artificial intelligence, the lack of a convenient save feature, and an overall lack of originality all serve to drastically weaken the game.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 is a must buy for any handheld-boarding fan.
Frank Provo
Spider-Man Review
Though the game isn't perfect, it is a wonderful accomplishment on the part of the developers, and it is simply very fun to play.
Miguel Lopez
Giants: Citizen Kabuto Review
The truly unique premise, coupled with stunning graphics and exciting gameplay, makes Giants: Citizen Kabuto one of the best action games in years.
Scott Osborne
Razor Freestyle Scooter Review
While the game is aimed at a younger crowd, it still manages to be good, albeit short-term, fun.
Jeff Gerstmann
Virtual Pool 3 Review
You can't find a pool sim that looks and plays as much like the real thing as Virtual Pool 3 does.
Stephen Poole
Gunman Chronicles Review
Though it's worth considering that this game was essentially developed by a group of amateur designers, there are many first-person shooters available that are much more worthwhile.
Amer Ajami
Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo Review
Fans of the Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls series will ultimately be disappointed by Bad Mojo Jojo since the game is extremely simple and boring.
Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 (PS) Review
Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 has more boxers and moves than the first game, but aside from a few slight changes here and there, the game remains largely unchanged.
Maximum Pool Review
If you're looking for something to play online, Maximum Pool does the job, albeit without any bells or whistles.
Jeff Gerstmann
F1 Championship Season 2000 Review
It enhances a number of the original game's features, adds a handful of new ones, and, ultimately, it will undoubtedly please racing enthusiasts and interested beginners alike.
Amer Ajami
Battle Isle: The Andosia War Review
The game's incomplete interface, uneven pacing, and typical units all serve to make it less interesting than it might have been.
Bruce Grey
ESPN NBA 2Night Review
NBA 2Night is an admirable first effort, but the game feels unfinished in almost every aspect, particularly on the court.
Shahed Ahmed
Theme Park Roller Coaster Review
Sim fans should get a major kick out of Theme Park Roller Coaster.
Jeff Gerstmann
Frogger 2 Review
If NES-caliber sound and graphics wrapped around one of the most memorable classic games fills you with nostalgia, then Frogger 2 for the Game Boy Color is right up your alley.
Ryan Davis
Timeline Review
The game is far too short, and the puzzles would be easy for even the most novice gamers.
Ron Dulin
WCW Backstage Assault Review
It's hard to recommend a wrestling game that doesn't contain any actual in-the-ring wrestling.
Jeff Gerstmann
Blade Review
Activision has enjoyed a pretty strong track record when it comes to translating comic books and movies into game form, but it's failed on both accounts here.
Joe Fielder
X-Men: Mutant Wars Review
X-Men: Mutant Wars is an archetypical example of a good idea executed badly.
Frank Provo
Sin and Punishment Import Review
IMPORT: Sin and Punishment is a lot of fun, but the game's complete lack of difficulty and fairly short length really hurt it.
Jeff Gerstmann
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX Review
It may not be perfect, but Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX plays well and looks awesome - two traits that will no doubt put it under many a tree this holiday season.
Frank Provo
Dino Crisis Review
Though it has some startling moments and a few fun sections, it's mostly just a mediocre version of a mediocre game.
Ron Dulin
Star Wars: Episode I: Battle for Naboo Review
Even with the graphical faults and the general lack of innovation over its predecessor, Battle for Naboo is still a fun mission-based shooter, as well as one of the best Episode I titles to hit the market yet.
Ryan Davis
ECW Anarchy Rulz Review
If you're new to the scene or you enjoyed last year's ECW Hardcore Revenge, Anarchy Rulz should keep you occupied until the next installment.
Frank Provo
B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th Review
This ambitious game actually isn't so much a flight simulation as it is a role-playing game that takes place aboard a bomber.
Bruce Grey
Gradius III & IV Review
Anyone looking for a solid side-scrolling shooter would do well to pick up this game.
Ryan Davis
Donkey Kong Country Review
Donkey Kong Country is one of the most playable and replayable Game Boy Color games ever created.

FIFA 2001 Review
Though FIFA 2001 is a solid enough game in its own right, the game's lack of innovation or significant upgrades keeps it from having the same impact as FIFA 2000.
Ben Stahl
Hoyle Card Games Review
If you're a fan of playing cards, Hoyle Card Games will inevitably keep you occupied for hours on end.
Tim Soete
Urban Chaos (DC) Review
Somewhere inside the Dreamcast version of Urban Chaos is a decent game, struggling to escape. But the layers and layers of flaws completely negate any strong points the game could have had.
Jeff Gerstmann
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance Review
It's a fantastic introduction to the MechWarrior series for those who haven't yet discovered it, and should have enough depth to keep veterans involved for a long time.
Bruce Grey
Army Men Sarge's Heroes Review
The Dreamcast version of Army Men Sarge's Heroes is an engaging, albeit dated entry into the 3D action combat genre.
Frank Provo
Cruis'n Exotica Review
While the game is lacking in terms of overall gameplay, visual quality, and sound depth, there is never any doubt that you're playing a Cruis'n game.
Frank Provo
Hoyle Word Games Review
If you like wordplay, and you don't already have a CD-ROM collection of word games, then this is the package to get.
Tim Soete
Contender 2 Review
Contender 2 is a much more enjoyable arcade-style boxing game than its processor, and fans of the original game, as well as fans of the genre, will undoubtedly enjoy it.
Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry Review
Tom & Jerry: Fists of Furry is a game that is accessible enough for the younger crowd, yet it still packs enough challenge and quality production that more mature gamers will appreciate it too.
Ryan Davis
Red Dog: Superior Firepower Review
If you're the kind of person who loves challenging tank games or happens to have a few trigger-happy friends, the game takes on a life of its own.
Frank Provo
F1 Championship Season 2000 Review
EA has created the best-looking and best-sounding PlayStation Formula One title to date, and it has excellent gameplay and features to boot.
Frank Provo
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Review
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis remains a very worthwhile game even though not much has been added to the translation.
Joe Fielder
Looney Tunes Racing Review
While a solid offering that represents its respective license quite well, Looney Tunes Racing isn't the genre-busting piece of software that a last-generation game is supposed to be.
Shane Satterfield
ESPN X-Games Snowboarding Review
Those who may be looking for another SSX will certainly be disappointed by X-Games' sim-styled approach, but those who are looking for a true-to-life snowboarding experience will be overjoyed.
Zeus: Master of Olympus Review
Zeus is a major improvement for Impressions' line of city-building games, and it's a significant advancement for city-building games in general.
Ron Dulin
WCW Backstage Assault Review
EA's Backstage Assault is a novel idea, but in the end, it doesn't have enough variation to make it worthwhile.
Jeff Gerstmann
Alice In Wonderland Review
In execution, Alice offers some of the best graphics and gameplay ever seen on a portable system.
Tim Tracy
Sonic Shuffle Review
The combination of the unbearable load times, the smattering of minigames, and the poor minigame design make Sonic Shuffle a boring diversion at best.
Ryan Davis
ESPN The Games: International Track & Field Review
International Track & Field is an excellent title.
Frank Provo
Mike Tyson's Boxing Review
Mike Tyson's Boxing just doesn't have the depth of Knockout Kings or the immediate satisfaction found from the arcade style of play in Ready 2 Rumble.
Army Men: Air Attack 2 Review
Army Men: Air Attack 2 is a whole lot of fun while it lasts.
Ryan Davis
Heroes Chronicles: Conquest of the Underworld Review
The gameplay in Conquest of the Underworld is very formulaic, despite the generally high quality of the map designs.
Greg Kasavin
Rune Review
The simplistic melee combat system combined with weak enemy artificial intelligence makes Rune an ultimately shallow and repetitious experience.
Erik Wolpaw
Blair Witch Volume 2: The Legend of Coffin Rock Review
Though Blair Witch Volume 2 is not particularly scary, it has a fairly interesting story that's paced briskly.
Andrew Park
Smuggler's Run Review
The basic rule is drive fast and furious, and most of all, don't get caught.
Ben Stahl
NBA Live 2001 Review
NBA Live 2001 follows the fine tradition established by previous versions while adding just about every conceivable gameplay option.
Shane Satterfield
The Devil Inside Review
The game's story and adventure elements aren't very interesting in themselves, and the novelty of the TV-show premise gets old soon enough.
Greg Kasavin
Big Mountain 2000 Review
The game may look dated and lack a backbone, but it is actually fun to play once you get into it.
Frank Provo
X-Squad Review
If it weren't for the overly touchy control and the game's overall lack of difficulty and length, X-Squad could have been a contender.
Jeff Gerstmann
McGrath vs. Pastrana Freestyle Motocross Review
McGrath vs. Pastrana Freestyle Motocross is the primary candidate for an award no video game wants to win, the uninspired game of the year award.
Shane Satterfield
Knockout Kings 2001 Review
Knockout Kings 2001 is easily the best iteration of the series thus far, thanks to improved AI, cleaner graphics, and tighter controls.
Links 2001 Review
It'll definitely please Links fans, especially once the promised course-converter becomes available.
Stephen Poole
Mickey's Speedway USA Review
With 20 tracks, four battle arenas, and a plenitude of hidden characters and cheats to unlock, Mickey's Speedway USA has enough substance to keep even the most dedicated kart racing fanatics coming back for more.
Shane Satterfield
Quake III Arena Review
Quake III Arena for the Dreamcast marks one of the few times that a PC first-person shooter has moved over to a console system without sacrificing much of its playability or options.
Jeff Gerstmann
Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars Review
It completely reinvigorates the original game by adding four new car types, 20 racetracks, and a host of updated graphics and gameplay mechanics.
Amer Ajami
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Review
Experienced and discerning gamers would do well to steer clear of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, as the game is simplistic and light.
Miguel Lopez
Pac-Man: Adventures in Time Review
Adventures in Time is an attempt to bring Pac-Man back to his roots, but with surprisingly solid 3D graphics, good level design, and a few new gameplay features.
Giancarlo Varanini
Crash Bash Review
Those who don't already have a Multitap and aren't looking to buy one will definitely want to take a pass on this thoroughly mediocre party game.
Ryan Davis
Cool Boarders 2001 Review
From both a technical and aesthetic standpoint, Cool Boarders 2001 is like a winter without snow - a drag.
Shane Satterfield
Escape from Monkey Island Review
Veterans of the Monkey Island series will surely enjoy the game in spite of its occasional problems.
Ron Dulin
Silent Scope Review
The added training mode in the home version doesn't make up for the fact that you can master the game in less than a day.
Jeff Gerstmann
Madden NFL 2001 Review

NBA ShootOut 2001 Review

Starship Troopers Review
Each level becomes an exercise in simply marching your squad around the map and watching your troops gun down any bugs that get in your way.
Erik Wolpaw
Sega Marine Fishing Review
While the game may not hold up in terms of long-lasting value, those looking for a quick fishing fix without getting dirty will be more than pleased with this offering.
Tim Tracy
Breakout Review
If you still don't have your Atari 2600 lying around and you miss this sort of simplistic fun, Breakout may be worth a rental.
Shane Satterfield
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Review
While it may lack some of the visual flare of today's PC games, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 more than makes up for it with its outstanding gameplay.
Giancarlo Varanini
Rollcage Stage II Review
The game may not have the lasting appeal of Psygnosis' Wipeout or Namco's Ridge Racer, but it has enough gameplay, eye candy, and bonus secrets to put it near the top of what the PlayStation has to offer.
Frank Provo
Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr Review
Rustin Parr won't take you very long to finish, but it will give you a few good scares along the way.
Ron Dulin
MTV Sports: Pure Ride Review
MTV: Pure Ride is an excellent snowboarding game, but it's yet another example of a development house shifting the majority of its resources to the next generation of hardware.
Shane Satterfield
RPG Maker Review
Knowing off the bat that your experience with RPG Maker will frequently have you elbow-deep in the most hostile of interfaces - scripting events, penning text, or what have you - will most adequately prepare you for the rigors of RPG making.

If you're up for a challenge and enjoy racing games even a little, then you'll find that Driver 2 is an extraordinary game.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 Review
PGA Tour 2001 isn't a major step for the series, but its vast number of top-notch courses will make it worthwhile for many golf sim players.
Stephen Poole

It won't keep you entertained forever, but if you can get around its lack of length, Cannon Spike delivers.
Brad Shoemaker
The World is not Enough Review
The World Is Not Enough provides an engaging experience but fails to match the gameplay finesse of GoldenEye.

If you want to mow down terrorists using the latest firearms in a variety of colorful settings, then this is your game.
Scott Osborne
Heroes Chronicles: Warlords of the Wasteland Review
You'll wish there were more to the first Heroes Chronicles game than just a series of missions stitched together by a nice short story.
Greg Kasavin
4x4 Evolution Review
While 4x4 Evolution opts for fun over realism, it's a trade-off that you'll probably appreciate as soon as you take the game for a spin.
Stephen Poole
ESPN The Games: International Track & Field Review
As the PlayStation 2's only current track and field game, International Track & Field is an excellent first attempt.
Frank Provo
Galaga: Destination Earth Review
Of all the old-school to 3D remakes, Galaga: Destination Earth may be the most uninspired.
Shane Satterfield
NFL GameDay 2001 Review
Those who've seen and played Madden on the PlayStation 2 will immediately see the difference and recognize that NFL GameDay 2001 is merely a PlayStation game posing as a PlayStation 2 product.

Despite a lack of visual refinement, NASCAR 2001 is definitely a game that's worth owning.
Frank Provo
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 Review
Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 is a solid arcade-style boxing game, and like most arcade games, it wears thin fairly quickly.
Deep Raider Review
There is no reason whatsoever for you to purchase or play Deep Raider.
Michael E.
NBA 2K1 Review
Visual Concepts has tweaked and buffed out the annoying gameplay traits that plagued its original hoops game, and the result is a highly polished product.
Shahed Ahmed
Star Wars: Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles Review
Jedi Power Battles is a reasonably fun game if you're a fan of Star Wars or if you're into vegetating in front of a standard action game for a few minutes at a time (or especially if you're both).
Brad Shoemaker
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 Review
Since the game's AI is relatively simple, you'll quickly learn all of the little tricks that'll lead you to a win with little or no thought put into it at all, which ultimately makes R2RB: R2 a game that's better suited for rental than purchase.
Death Track Racing Review
The game is nearly as much fun as its predecessor, Rollcage.
Stephen Poole
G-Saviour (Import) Review
IMPORT: The game seems to have lost its focus and ends up somewhere between the "free run" Armored Core type of mech action game and the "free floating" Omega Boost type.
Ike Sato
Wizards & Warriors Review
Wizards & Warriors suffers from a handful of problems that compromise an otherwise solid role-playing game.
Andrew Park
Railroad Tycoon II Review
Solid gameplay, numerous options, and attention to detail make Railroad Tycoon II an excellent simulation.

While it's not the most beautiful hockey video game, NHL 2001 comes through where it counts - the gameplay.
Shane Satterfield
World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks Review
World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks for the PlayStation does not suffice in any facet of its execution and should be avoided by even the most fervent vehicular combat fans.
Ryan Davis
Ogre Battle 64 Review
Ogre Battle 64 offers a detailed branching story and great depth of customization, both executed brilliantly within the limitations of a 35-meg cartridge.

Demolition Racer: No Exit Review
Infogrames has lifted a formerly average game on the PlayStation to greatness on the Dreamcast.
Frank Provo
The Dukes of Hazzard: Racing for Home Review
It's incredibly short, has awful car physics and poor graphics, and nobody cared enough to even implement joystick support.

NFL Blitz 2001 Review
NFL Blitz 2001 for Dreamcast is a worthy update and a giant step above the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 versions of the same name.
Frank Provo
NFL Blitz 2001 Review

Frank Provo
Muppet Race Mania Review
Remove the Muppets from the racing mania, and you're left with no better than an average kart-racing game, which any discerning gamer knows are already plentiful.

Frank Provo
Panzer General III: Scorched Earth Review
Panzer General III: Scorched Earth takes its predecessor's engine and simply shifts the setting of the game to the Eastern Front.
Bruce Grey
Sydney 2000 Review
Sydney 2000 is good enough to compete at the Olympic level as far as video games go - but it'll be hard-pressed to earn anything above a bronze medal.

Caesar's Palace 2000 Review
While the selection of gambling titles on the Dreamcast is slim in comparison to the PlayStation or the PC, the best bet for all involved would be to take your chips elsewhere.
Ryan Davis
Close Combat: Invasion Normandy Review
While the gameplay is mostly identical to the preceding games, all the intensity of the Close Combat system remains in Invasion Normandy.
Bruce Grey
Star Trek: New Worlds Review
The derivative action in New Worlds does only one thing well: It reminds you how exciting a well-designed real-time strategy game can be by comparison.
Stephen Poole
MTV Sports: Skateboarding Review
MTV Sports: Skateboarding is ultimately disappointing due to its average graphics, poor collision detection, and loose controls.
Giancarlo Varanini
Homeworld: Cataclysm Review
Veterans of the first game will also be quick to notice some interface changes and gameplay enhancements. However, Homeworld's beautiful graphics, top-notch sound, and 3D play mechanics remain intact.

Frank Provo
Madden NFL 2001 Review

Frank Provo
Spawn Review
Fans of the Spawn comic book may enjoy this game for the simple fact that it's the prettiest Spawn game yet, but all others should rent with prejudice.
Shane Satterfield
The Flintstones Bedrock Bowling Review

Brad Shoemaker

Trey Walker
Disney's Dinosaur Review
It's nice to see a movie-licensed game that contains ambitious design elements, but Dinosaur never really comes together into something truly fun.

The only major flaw in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is that the game is a touch on the easy side.
Jeff Gerstmann
Peter Jacobsen's Golden Tee Golf Review
Golden Tee Golf doesn't contain anything that warrants a recommendation.
Brad Shoemaker
Rally Masters: Michelin Race of Champions Review
On the surface, Rally Masters has everything needed to be a first-rate simulation, but you'll find that it can become frustrating on several different levels.

San Francisco Rush 2049 Review
Featuring a complete and functional version of the arcade game, plus a smattering of extra modes, Rush 2049's package is definitely the one to emulate.
Miguel Lopez

While the graphics and sound could have been better, the fast-paced gameplay and circuit options make the game interesting and enjoyable.
Trey Walker
Tyco RC Assault with a Battery Review
Tyco RC stacks up well against the competition, but doesn't add any major innovations to the formula established by RC Revenge.
Miguel Lopez
Countdown Vampires Review
The game is flawed on so many levels that only the most dedicated survival-horror fan might get some enjoyment out of it.
Tim Tracy
NFL QB Club 2001 Review
It's clear that NFL QB Club 2001 is trying to play catch up with Sega's NFL 2K series, and the way things stand, QB Club still has a lot of cleaning up to do before it can smell as rosy fresh as Sega's superior offerings.
Nelson Taruc
NASCAR Heat Review
NASCAR Heat offers a brutally honest driving experience, but with simplistic damage modeling.
Stephen Poole
San Francisco Rush 2049 Review
Visually, aurally, and in terms of gameplay, there's nothing good about this version of Rush 2049.

Gamespot Staff
NFL GameDay 2001 Review
In the end, GameDay 2001, aside from its obvious roster updates and a few minor additions, is totally identical to last year's title, which was a really good game.
Test Drive Cycles Review
In all, what really makes Cycles a good game is the balance of arcade-style gameplay and a lengthy championship mode.

Ultimate Fighting Championship Review
Overall, UFC successfully merges the ease of play you'd expect from a fighting game with the simulation aspects of a sports game.
Jeff Gerstmann
Vanguard Bandits Review
This battlefield strategy RPG isn't for everyone, but if you're a strategy RPG fan that isn't too fussy about graphics, you'll be pleased.

NFL 2K1 Review
In the end, NFL 2K1 is a deeper, more refined version of the original game.
Virtua Athlete 2000 Review
If you're not a huge fan of the game's seven track and field events or lack human competition to play with, the game will be nothing more than a weekend fantasy.

Frank Provo
NCAA GameBreaker 2001 Review
NCAA GameBreaker 2001 is basically the same as last year's model.
MTV Skateboarding Review
MTV Skateboarding is a perfect example of cashing in on a recently established genre, yet unlike games like Street Sk8er 2 or Grind Session, it doesn't bring anything worthwhile to the table.

If you're into classic arcade games, and you haven't already picked up this exact collection for the PlayStation or PC, this isn't a bad way to go.

Tim Tracy
The Ring: Terror's Realm Review
Die-hard survival-horror fans might possibly get a quick fix from this game, but even that's questionable.
Brad Shoemaker
Toonsylvania Review
With so many exceptional Game Boy platformers on the market, one simply can't justify picking up Toonsylvania.

Toy Story 2 Review
Overall, Activision has done a decent, if uninspired, job of porting the game to yet another platform.
Miguel Lopez
Deep Fighter Review
While Deep Fighter isn't destined for any awards, the game's intriguing storyline, solid gameplay, and sharp graphics make playing it a pleasurable experience.
Sega GT Review
Sega GT attempts to capture some of Gran Turismo's formula for the Dreamcast, but it ultimately falls short due to poor control and an unintuitive interface.

While it may not be everything that Grand Prix II players hoped for, it's still a reason for F1 fans to rejoice.
Scott Osborne
Polaris SnoCross Review
For snowmobile fans with a little extra cash to burn, Polaris SnoCross proves to be a rather entertaining diversion as long as you can accept its odd collision glitches.
Nelson Taruc
Spider-Man Review
More fully realized than anything on the 8- or 16-bit systems, Spider-Man for the GBC is the game we all wish we had ten years ago - a totally convincing interpretation of Spidey for the handheld sector.
Miguel Lopez
Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 Review
Supercross 2000 squanders an opportunity to be something new, and instead gives us the same thing we've played plenty of times before.
Brad Shoemaker
ATV: Quad Power Racing Review
There may be some ATV enthusiasts out there who will get enough out of ATV: Quad Power Racing to warrant a rental.
Shane Satterfield
Surf Riders Review
In the end, Surf Riders is a fun game with decent gameplay, but the shortage of modes, run-of-the-mill graphics, and lack of variety prevent Surf Riders from being to surf games what Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is to skateboarding games.
Ryan Davis
ECW Anarchy Rulz Review
While Anarchy Rulz bears the ECW logo, the wrestling action is simply too low impact and refined for the likes of this brutal organization.
Frank Provo
Star Trek: Invasion Review
Despite the game's fluid control system and innovative lock-on features, its pacing and repetition simply mar the gameplay experience.
Frank Provo
Sydney 2000 Review
If you buy into the whole button-mashing mentality of track and field games, you'll find that Sydney 2000 turns in a solid, finger-numbing performance.

Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 Review
Jeremy McGrath is an unfortunate example of what happens when sports games fall into a rut.
Brad Shoemaker
The Sims: Livin' Large Review
Livin' Large adds more of the same to The Sims: more character skins, more career paths, more home furnishings, and more of the original game's quirky, sarcastic humor.

NCAA Football 2001 Review
Is NCAA 2001 different than last year's title, or the year before that? Nope, it's pretty much the same experience with a few new tricks.

Sam Parker
Pro Pinball: Big Race USA Review
Even if you're not well steeped in the world of video pinball, the game's $9.99 price makes it well worth checking out.
Jeff Gerstmann
Sno-Cross Championship Racing Review
Sno-Cross Championship Racing, a quality game based entirely on snowmobile racing, proves that there's no good reason for the unvaried focus of today's racing games.
Brad Shoemaker
Warlocked Review
New or younger players should be able to look past the game's limitations and simply accept it as a simple but fun game.
Jeff Gerstmann
Mr. Driller Review
If you're the type of person who can forgive a lack of features for an otherwise impeccable game, Mr. Driller might be a decent addition to your puzzle game library.
Frank Provo
NASCAR 2000 Review
Offering 33 unique cars, 16 tracks, real-life drivers, a season mode, a variety of car-tuning options, and a two-player link-cable option, THQ has crammed a great deal into this pocket-sized beauty.
Frank Provo
South Park Rally Review
Even though the Dreamcast may possess considerably more processing power under the hood than the Nintendo 64 or PlayStation, nothing seems to be able to hide the fact that South Park Rally is simply not a good game.
X-Men: Mutant Academy Review
While the "big brother" console release of X-Men: Mutant Academy may be at least tolerable, the Game Boy Color release falls flat.
Frank Provo
Men In Black: The Series 2 Review
In all, Men In Black isn't a bad game, but it isn't entirely exciting.
Tim Tracy
Mortal Kombat Special Forces Review
Even at a semi-bargain price of $19.99, Mortal Kombat: Special Forces isn't worth your time, let alone your money.
Jeff Gerstmann
Dark Reign 2 Review
Despite its powerful and extremely attractive 3D graphics engine, Dark Reign 2 ultimately fails to tread much new ground.
Andrew Park
Warlords Battlecry Review
While Warlords Battlecry is evidently derivative of other fantasy-themed strategy games, its combination of elements taken from its predecessors makes the game unique in its own right.
Tim Soete
Dogs of War Review
Dogs of War seems not only unpolished, but also unfinished.
Stephen Poole
Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 Review
While it has some interesting sequences, and can be really enjoyable at times, more often F.A.K.K. 2 merely seems like the framework for a much better game.
Ron Dulin
Walt Disney World Quest - Magical Racing Tour Review
While it may be a Mario Kart clone, Magical Racing Tour does put forth a unique effort in two categories: graphics and sound.
Frank Provo
NGEN Racing Review
While by no means a perfect product, NGEN does a good job of establishing an aspect of the racing genre that will obviously see many reinterpretations -here's to it being a blueprint for games to come.
Miguel Lopez
Asterix: The Search for Dogmatix Import Review
IMPORT: Asterix: The Search for Dogmatix is one of the better combinations of platformer and plot to come out in recent years.
Frank Provo
All-Star Baseball 2001 Review
Due to limitations in graphical and sound capabilities, handheld baseball titles still have a long way to go before they catch up to their console counterparts. Acclaim's All-Star Baseball 2001 is a step in the right direction.
Frank Provo
Cotton (Import) Review
IMPORT: Though Cotton NGPC has lost some of the visual and audio splendor of the original, it still represents a shining example of the 2D-shooter genre.
Frank Provo
Ultima Online: Renaissance Review
Ultima Online has finally reached the state it really should have been in when it was first released nearly three years ago.
Michael E.
Looney Tunes Collector: Alert! Review
Infogrames' Looney Tunes Collector: Alert! may not be Pokémon, but it's a finely polished puzzle-quest action-RPG nonetheless.
Frank Provo
International Track & Field 2000 Review
After you've beaten the game several times, it's easy to see why Konami wanted this title to go straight to rental.
Nelson Taruc
PGA European Tour Review
Dated graphics, gameplay flaws, and meager extras all conspire to bring down an otherwise average golf game.
Nelson Taruc
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure Review
If you're the type of RPGer who commits to checking out the most nonstandard manifestations of the genre, then Rhapsody is definitely worth your attention.
Miguel Lopez
Wacky Races Review
In every category, be it gameplay, sound, visuals, or replay, Infogrames' Wacky Races turns in a solid performance.
Frank Provo
Nightmare Creatures 2 Review
Nightmare Creatures 2 is a good idea fumbling over itself to be better.
Frank Provo
Triple Play 2001 Review
Triple Play 2001 is a perfect example of how good ideas can go horribly awry.
Frank Provo
All Star Pro-Wrestling Import Review
IMPORT: The shoddy control scheme and sluggish gameplay are more than enough to keep the PlayStation 2's first wrestling game from being any fun.
Jeff Gerstmann
Mask of Zorro Review
The history of gaming is full of poor movie adaptations, and the Mask of Zorro represents one more.
Frank Provo
BreakNeck Review
BreakNeck's impressive selection of cars and tracks add value to what would otherwise be a straightforward racing game.
Amer Ajami
Crystalis Review
For a game developed more than ten years ago, Crystalis is still surprisingly relevant, and it's a testament to tight, polished RPG game design.
Miguel Lopez
Striker Pro 2000 Review
Overall, this game warrants a solid score for its many attributes - decent artificial intelligence (especially the goalies), nice animation, entertaining play modes, and multiplayer. But unfortunately the automatic player-switching throws a wet blanket over the fun.
Gamespot Staff
Striker Pro 2000 Review
With so much competition on the PS it's tough to recommend Striker Pro 2000 over FIFA or ISS.
Gamespot Staff
Indy Racing 2000 Review
If you can overlook the muddy graphics, Indy Racing 2000 is surprisingly fun.
Gamespot Staff
Xtreme Sports Review
Xtreme Sports is definitely going to be an unsung hit.
Miguel Lopez
Army Men: Air Combat Review
With the addition of four-player multiplayer, Army Men: Air Combat is the best game to bear the Army Men name.
Jeff Gerstmann
Grudge Warriors Review
If you're deathly bored, low on funds, and sick of every game your local video store stocks, then perhaps you'll want to check out Grudge Warriors.
Miguel Lopez
Test Drive Le Mans Review
What you get with Test Drive Le Mans is the most solid GBC racing title to date. The features are thick, the gameplay is deep, and the level of replay isn't contrived.
Frank Provo
The New York Times Crossword Puzzles - Review
The New York Times Crossword Puzzles is an electronic compilation of many of the hard-copy books you can get of these famous crosswords.
Nicole Freeman
Expendable (PS) Review
When you get right down to it, Expendable is sheer, unadulterated shooting. Run through a bunch of levels, blow everything to bits, and try not to get shot.
Frank Provo
Colony Wars: Red Sun Review
Thanks to a greater focus on plot development and presentation, Psygnosis delivers with Red Sun what is arguably the best Colony Wars title to date.
Frank Provo
Runabout 2 Review
The Runabout series not only hasn't kept up with the times (Crazy Taxi is this type of game almost fully realized), it's lost a lot of what made it so appealing in the first place.
Joe Fielder
Hot Wheels Micro Racers Review
It takes the classic playtime activity of racing toy cars and adds 3D-accelerated graphics and artificial intelligence to create a fun arcade-style racing game.
Trey Walker
Driver Review
Driving around is fun and exciting, the levels are varied, and the side games really do improve your skill within the main game.
Frank Provo
Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol Review
Spec Ops: Stealth Patrol isn't the most spectacular game on the PlayStation, but it does deliver enough basic fundamentals like control, gameplay, and presentation to make it easily worth its special US$10 price tag.
Rainbow Six DC Review
As long as you're not expecting Quake III Arena and are ready for a steep learning curve, Rainbow Six is as deep and challenging as action games get.
Erik Wolpaw
Lemmings Revolution Review
The gradual learning curve, simple interface, and new features make it a great game for Lemmings novices and veterans alike.
Tim Soete
The Road to El Dorado Review
While the game's plot and gameplay are standard, it's eye-candy that El Dorado excels in. Miguel and Tulio walk, jump, crawl, and meander with countless frames of animation.
Frank Provo
Mr. Driller Review
Mr. Driller is a cute and quirky puzzler that lacks the variety to make it a long-term contender for your attention like a Puzzle Fighter or Tetris would. At a low price of $20, however, Mr. Driller is a worthwhile and refreshing return to the puzzle genre, however short-lived the game may be.
Peter Bartholow
Excitebike 64 Review
The gameplay is arcade-like, but it is also deep and varied in that well-known Nintendo way. The visuals aren't perfect, but they are stunning nonetheless.
Frank Provo
Martian Gothic: Unification Review
It's a missed opportunity for those hoping for a good blend of action and adventure elements.
Steve Smith
40 Winks Review
40 Winks might be a good purchase for a parent with a 6- to 10-year-old who's just starting to play video games, but other than that, anyone looking for a quality platformer should look elsewhere.
Gamespot Staff
SimCity 3000 Unlimited Review
It's best suited for those who haven't played much SimCity 3000 yet, though some of its scenario-editing features are better for hard-core SimCity fans.
Greg Kasavin
1942 Review
Even though the gameplay is solid, the bland visuals and lackluster sound make 1942 a tough pill to swallow.
Frank Provo
Asteroids Hyper 64 Review
Buy Asteroids Hyper 64 if you really, really adore the classic Asteroids, but all others are advised to either rent it or forget about it entirely.
Gamespot Staff
Chase HQ: Secret Police Review
Chase H.Q.: Secret Police is fun to play, the strategy elements are engrossing, and the level design gives the game a sense of replay rarely seen in GBC racing titles.
Frank Provo
Dracula Resurrection Review
Dracula Resurrection is a somewhat interesting adventure only because it's quick, easy, and atmospheric.
Ron Dulin
Motocross Madness 2 Review
Motocross Madness 2 isn't the most realistic motorcycle simulation you can buy, but it's definitely one of the most enjoyable.
Stephen Poole
Gauntlet Legends DC Review
Regardless of whether the original Gauntlet game was compelling enough to warrant an arcade remake, the Dreamcast version of Gauntlet Legends is a subpar button-masher that's neither interesting nor nostalgic.
Ben Stahl
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire 2nd Edition Review
It pretty much delivers everything you'd expect from a PC version of the TV game show.
Steve Smith
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Review
Although Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is not at all revolutionary, it is not especially well executed in any particular area, and it suffers noticeably in the graphics and sound departments, but it still has its moments.
Justin Speer
Flying Heroes Review
Flying Heroes looks superb, but it's definitely not just another first-person shooter.
Andrew Park
Sky Surfer Import Review
IMPORT: Sky Surfer represents a situation where a decent concept is marred by flawed execution.
Frank Provo
Grind Session Review
The game has great sound effects and an absolutely amazing soundtrack, featuring songs from artists such as Jurassic 5, GZA, Dr. Octagon, X-Ecutioners, NOFX, and Black Flag.
Jeff Gerstmann
Space Channel 5 Review
Space Channel 5 absolutely oozes with style from beginning to end, and even though a bit of the game's charm has been lost in the translation from Japanese to English, it's still an interesting, yet criminally simplistic game.
Jeff Gerstmann
Bust-A-Move 4 Review
The Dreamcast has a few solid puzzle games, but Bust-A-Move 4 is neither a new breed nor a game that will push the power of your Dreamcast to impressive new levels.
Lauren Fielder
F1 World Grand Prix Review
If the game's release had been more timely and the frame rate problems minimized, it might have been a Spring blockbuster.
Frank Provo
Casper GBC Review
For children from age 5 to 12, many fun hours of friendly haunting await. For adolescents and adults, however, there are better choices in the genre.
Frank Provo
Industrial Spy Review
Unless you're extremely into the spy game genre, you should avoid this game at all costs.
Ike Sato
Top Gun Review
Much like Slider in the movie upon which this air combat game is based, Top Gun for the DS does, in fact, stink.
Bob Colayco
Blades of Thunder II Review
There's nothing fun or exciting about flying helicopters in Blades of Thunder II. And considering that's all you do in the game, that's really sad.
Greg Mueller
Championship Bowling Review
Championship Bowling is further proof that bowling games are probably best left to cell phones.
SiN Episodes: Emergence Review
This is a pretty-looking, short, budget-priced, by-the-numbers futuristic shooter that's most notable for its episodic nature and its old heritage.
